I mean, the guy that heads Teams literally said meetings and subsequent overuse of Teams due to ease of making and doing meetings, is a productivity killer.

I agree. The problem is meetings.

One of the advantages of working from home is you can have the meeting on in the background and get on with some real work. When it comes your time to speak you've lost maybe 5 minutes instead of an hour.

And the idiots who schedule many of them...

[–] echodot 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just get scheduled into meetings without my involvement or knowledge. Sometimes minutes before they're due to start.

I have a meeting scheduled for Monday. Even though I'm away on Monday and they can see I'm away on Monday in my calendar. I'm just not going to tell them, and see if they noticed that I don't turn up.

Yeah in those situations I choose to not show up. They gonna not show me respect, I'm not gonna show them.

Sounds like to many meetings. Can't do work at a meeting.
