What’s one meeting you’d happily delete from your calendar forever? Mine: the meeting to prep for the meeting.

Mine would be the “weekly alignment meeting” that somehow lasts an hour but could easily be summed up in a two-line email.

lol. Our boss had us go through all our meetings and decide which ones we could get rid of. I kid you not, we removed about 2/3 of our meetings and had no pushback from stake holders. It was glorious.

Amazing

I would love to duck the meetings that I think I'm invited to by mistake. I'll wind up sitting there and listening and realizing not much of what's being discussed has anything to do with me. And I really should be at my desk doing something useful.

For sure

YE feedback

Nice

This is so real. Why do these prep meetings even exist??
