Hardest disagree possible. I don't know where you work or what your role is but many teams have the people in technical roles practically writing the emails back to the clients. There's a huge swamp of talking heads to be drained after the layoffs and other "organizational change" that's occurred over the last few years.
Ideas will always be, and necessarily by definition, less valuable than implementation details. Any attempt at refuting that is insanely delusional. The chickens have come home to roost at so many workplaces.
Who gets to have their meetings at the end of the day instead of first thing in the morning? The execs? Sad.
- GuB-42 4y agoI think that "first thing in the morning" meetings are the best (after "no meeting") when it comes to interruptions, because it means that you won't be interrupted later during your day. In fact the point of these meetings is usually to know what you will spend the rest of the day doing, so that managers won't have to bother you with that during the day. Also, as a night owl, the start of the day is mostly dedicated to finishing waking up and waiting for caffeine to take effect, so I wouldn't be very productive anyways.
- sublinear 4y ago> it means that you won't be interrupted later during your day I've never worked in a place like that. What usually happens is that you're getting asked "quick follow up questions" throughout the day as your statements bubble up the rest of the hierarchy throughout the day. Inevitably someone wants to call you and steals 15 minutes and all your flow.
- GuB-42 4y agoI must be in an unusual company then. I rarely hear about my managers if I have done a meeting in the morning. I get my share of interruptions later, but these are usually technical questions from other developers or testers, or emergencies, but almost never regular project management stuff.
