I couldn’t disagree more. I think you should be at a job to learn skills and gain experience which can be used to advance your career. Short term money is tangential. Also often the impact you have directly affects your compensation, especially in higher level roles, but at the very least affects your cost of living raises, eligibility for promotion, and can shape your overall outlook at the company. I think if meetings seem useless the right thing to do is talk to your boss until you understand why the meeting is useful, or they understand why it is not useful. Your employer is not paying you to shrug your shoulders and declare you get paid the same either way
