Yes, in most meetings I try to say as little as possible, especially when the conversation has diverged from the agenda (i.e. almost every meeting).

- giantg2 5y agoAt my company, that will get you a bad rating (I know from experience).
- throwawayboise 5y agoSounds like a company that overvalues debate for its own sake. I've worked in places like that. "Intellectual sparring" was considered important, even if you basically agreed with the discussion or it was uncontroversial, you were expected to find something to contest in almost every meeting. It was tedious but you could game it by having some stock objections ready to throw out. I moved on from there after a couple of years. I'm not saying never say anything if something important and relevant is being missed, but in my experience that rarely happens.
