Honestly, how many workers really want a meeting?
Managers do. Collecting status and showing who’s boss is their work.
Marketing types. “Designers” (I.e. people who drive product requirement.) People who just love to hear themselves talk. Also we have this one QA guy who can’t code for shit and always wants someone else to do his work for him. He wants to be on zoom calls 24/7. I’m surprised that guy can piss without someone showing him how to hold his dick on a zoom call.
Thay guy needs AI and patience.
You literally just suggested the creation of another vibe coder.
Useful meetings? Yes. Useless? No.
Most meetings are useless, or they could just be an email.
If your job is bad enough you look forward to useless meetings
When I worked in customer service in a callcenter we all tried to ask a bunch of questions to try to extend the meeting so we wouldn't have to go back on the phones. anything is better than being on the phones.
I worked in a call center for a month, failed miserably, and I completely understand what you're saying, 20 years later.
