I don’t have nearly as many as I bitch about these days. The last place I worked had a damn meeting for everything though. Someone misspelled something when adding notes to a story? Meeting! Fuck that.
A lot of it just comes from having worked for a bunch of companies over almost two decades (fuck, when did I get old?). The first place I worked in my career had one meeting a week and it was just chaos because the director who called it didn’t want to control it. That was our only meeting because anything else took away from billable time, as did bathroom breaks if you took too many. So I’ve seen places with far too many stupid meetings, too few meetings that also ended up being stupid, and a very few places that had pretty good meetings that were well run.
Makes sense. I must have one of those good jobs where stupid meetings aren’t the norm.
