Honestly, how many workers really want a meeting?

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Useful meetings? Yes. Useless? No.

Only 1/20 meetings around my office I actually need to be a part of.

So why do you join them uninvited? /s

Most meetings are useless, or they could just be an email.

If your job is bad enough you look forward to useless meetings

When I worked in customer service in a callcenter we all tried to ask a bunch of questions to try to extend the meeting so we wouldn't have to go back on the phones. anything is better than being on the phones.

I worked in a call center for a month, failed miserably, and I completely understand what you're saying, 20 years later.
