My meeting load increased with wfh, what could normally be accomplished by walking by someones desk and chatting for 5 minutes now takes a dedicated meeting for 30 minutes. As it's a dedicated meeting it requires inviting a bunch of optional folks to ensure they feel like they had a voice in a decision/discussion. Finally this all requires scheduling into everyones swiss cheesed calendars.
In a modern tech company with all the wfh and productivity bells and whistles I now watch as my productive days vanish into 6 hours of meetings.
- jonny_eh 6y agoThis is all true for me. Although one benefit is no more people dropping by for 5 minute chats. On the other other hand I miss those a bit.
