This is not the point of meetings though. Meetings are for Aligning Stakeholders or Collaborating Across Teams at least in my world. Do you regularly attend meetings to be an audience member?
- happysadpanda2 3y agoAt various places of employment, /some/ meetings have absolutely been just so. Nothing of day-to-day value was ever communicated in those meetings, and nothing of value was lost when I stopped attending them. Sprint Demos could also fall into this category if you squint, but at least there is a good chance you pick up something useful
- nlawalker 3y agoIt’s not always that there’s no value in what’s communicated; often it’s just that there’s not much value in attending live. Teams’ auto-transcription, and now Copilot auto-summarization, is great for consuming these presentations after the fact in a fraction of the time.

- vundercind 3y agoSee also: newsletters of all sorts. I’m pretty sure everyone’s just using LLMs to write those now, and nothing of value was lost versus ten plus hours of actual human labor, since nobody reads them. [edit] I mean internal corporate newsletters. “What department X is doing!” OMG nobody cares unless they’re just reading it out of sheer boredom as a plausibly-work-related distraction during avoidance of doing actual work.
- skeeter2020 3y agoI try not to be one of those people, but when I'm in a meeting with 20 people and only 3 are actively contributing it sure seems like some/many are doing just that. Any non-dev in a standup typically mentions how many meetings they went to yesterday, and will attend today, as if this is some badge of productivity - and I say this as a manager myself, someone who attends a lot of meetings!
