This isn't the first time recently I've read that meetings are bad. But I don't get it. I simply don't understand.

What meetings are people referring to when they say that meetings are bad? Are they talking about regular diarised meetings that happen regardless of whether anyone has anything to say?

I can't think of many or actually any meetings that I go to these days where they're a waste of time I I learn nothing. We have few 'come anyway, whether you like it or not' meetings and most are the alternative to the 'have you two both some time to discuss this'.

What are organisations doing that means meetings are this bad??

Definitely worth chatting to friends. People in even medium sized companies feel their jobs have just become meetings. Colleagues use meetings for status or to assert their command over projects. Leaders use meetings to gather information to then trot out in own their meetings. I regret to inform you it’s awful out there Nia.

That's just hideous. But I am going to put a poll out to my team to ask them about meetings in case there's something I need to know
