I really can't stand when people get caught up in formalities. As far as I'm concerned, all meetings are time-wasting leisure activities where people revel in their ability to bullshit their accomplishments of the past week. We have piles of technology surrounding us and people still insist on meeting face-to-face to do reintroductions, round tables, and small talk. Sorry, but after the ten-thousandth time of introducing myself to you, "talking a little about myself", and hearing about whatever you were doing at work for the past week, it gets exhausting and infuriating thinking about how much time you're spending in meetings when you could be doing actual work.
