>You would have known if you stayed at the meeting If a meeting is structured such that an attendee has enough time to realize it's pointless and leave before the meeting gets around to the important part, then it's a bad meeting. That meeting sounds like it should have been an email, or a message in an IM channel, or even more than one smaller meetings. A manager who structures meetings so that people have to sit through pointless drivel in order to receive one or two important nuggets of information, is a bad manager who's scheduling exactly the kind of bad meetings that Musk is talking about.
