I also run an online company but I dont like meetings it is always re hashing things already shared and written before. But it seems like a lot of humans absolutely need meeting to properly collaborate. Why ?
- andrewflnr 6mo agoAmong other factors, lots of people don't read "things already shared and written before". Like, ever.
- ttoinou 6mo agoSomeone in the meeting has to do this though ? for the meeting to be useful
- andrewflnr 6mo agoSomeone does, I guess. Whoever writes it hopefully read it at least once, though that's not guaranteed these days. Most other people would rather do anything else, so if they can possibly get away with just hearing it, they will. Reading and comprehending is much harder work.
- ttoinou 6mo agoI have the same experience. Literally no one wants to read anything, they will always try to minimize the work done and pretend they've read. And when they've read, they weren't focused and the information isn't used for the project. I have no idea what to do here
- andrewflnr 6mo agoI don't know. Weep for the folly of our species? But you have part of your answer about why meetings rehash things. (I assume that's not the only factor.)
