I find most meetings to be a waste of time. Unless it's a brainstorming session, or something where you really need the collective input of everyone in the room, most people are there by requirement, not voluntary. We avoid meetings where I work, and use Slack and other platforms to build ideas, and make decisions. Meetings take up too much time.
