"And in practice they rarely are not. Nobody calculates the total cost of an unnecessary two hour meeting where 8 highly-paid employees discuss about something almost completely irrelevant."
In my experience, that is absolutely not true. Just about any meeting I've ever been in with more than 6 people, the very first question was, "this meeting is expensive, does it need to happen and do we need everyone?"
- k__ 12y agoIn my experience, it is absolutely true. And I worked at really small and really big companies. No one thought about the cost of a meeting, they thought of them as a normal thing every company does for a few hours a week.
- ejk314 12y agoSounds like a good place to work. But that's in no way typical. At every place I've worked (granted, not all that many) meetings are "free" and when you don't want to be at the meeting you're "not being a team player."
