I think anyone who works for a big company, or at least most who do, will have experienced going to meetings that should’ve been e-mails?
Some of those probably shouldn’t have even been that. Like, for instance, yesterday’s all-departments show-and-tell meeting, where literally no departments had anything new to show.
Good management is supposed to protect you from pointless meetings. Unfortunately some meetings only seem to exist so that management can say they have done something.
