I think it's the phrasing that comes off out of touch.

Like expecting that we should be super grateful to the management that they are "giving us back" 4 minutes of "our time" (that we will likely have to spend doing work for the company anyway) even though there is literally nothing else to discuss.

4 minutes may not even be enough time for a bathroom break.

Why would you plan 0 minutes for a bathroom break? If you planned 5, now you have 9. You can make a coffee. You can check the news, or you favorite socials. You can stare out the window. You can start work on whatever else you planned after the meeting. You can rant on the interwebs about having 4 minutes back.

Who plans bathroom breaks...?

Someone who has back to back meetings scheduled for more than half their work day.
