I guess I'm pretty cynical, but I presume you need to be aware of when attendance is taken in all of these contexts. The big townhalls are obviously ego trips for the senior leaders with little to no operational information of use to the peons. But if you get known as someone who doesn't attend them, then you'll probably be known as someone who doesn't respect leadership.
- ryandrake 3y agoMaybe I’ve been really lucky to have great jobs my entire career, but I’ve never worked anywhere where anyone gave a shit whether you joined a 20+ person “town hall” or “all hands” meeting. It’s not like the managers were up in a balcony with a telescope looking to make sure everyone was there. My criteria have worked out pretty well for me so far: 1. Do I need to contribute the the content or decision making of this meeting? 2. Is there anything important to my job that I can only learn by attending this meeting (as opposed to reading the notes/slides later)? If 1 OR 2, I try my best to attend. This has gotten me through about 25 years pretty well.
