To me, reading a document in a meeting that was supposed to be read beforehand is unprofessional. It’s creating a culture that says it’s ok to disrespect other people’s time by not being prepared. Meetings are already quite expensive.

Insightful. I have also observed that such processes induce more noise as participation (regardless of having a good effect) becomes the thing that managers notice for promotion/ demotion.
