There comes a point where meetings cease to be useful and simply consume time that could be better spent on actual work. This is the biggest challenge when your role involves both managing and carrying out your regular daily tasks. Essentially, I am the only one responsible for what I do in the multinational company I work for. In other words, I have to participate in management meetings while also fulfilling my responsibilities. It can be quite a struggle πŸ“ˆπŸ—“οΈπŸ“†

This is happening deep in the fiat mines, by the way πŸ˜…

Same here. It’s very frustrating to me. I find that now a lot of things are remote, I am constantly performing my tasks while trying to listen to others talk in circles.

Yep, it's definitely frustrating. "Let's spend an hour tomorrow discussing how to tackle this urgently needed task." Well, it seems like it's not so urgent after all, right? 🀌

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ all the time. People just love to hear themselves talk. I like to do my work haha

Indeed. This is why I like process tools and mental models. Meetings should drive creativity or action, and having the set purpose should be clear. It takes a good facilitator to keep the conversation on track and moving forward toward action.
