You know who loves meetings? People that don’t actually do any work. Showing up at a meeting offers them the cover of looking like they are actually doing something. It makes them look busy. Plus, it gives them an opportunity to catch up on texting. That’s why the vast majority of meetings are a big waste of time.
Because Covid-19 has most people working from home, now would be the perfect time to cut down on all those unnecessary meetings. But no. Everyone is still having all those meetings because Zoom. Thank goodness for Zoom! We can still have lots of unnecessary meetings just like Before Covid!
The problem is 90% of those meetings you had in the office were big time-sucks. They are sucking up even more time now because it’s so easy to invite more people and we don’t want anyone to feel left out. Yet once all those people (finally) get on, most of them end up zoning out or checking their email.
