Unlikely. I don't create meetings. I get invited to them. They are mostly unnecessary and have a net negative return of investment. I mean lucky if any of them have an agenda, minutes or an action and rarely does the facilitator actually have any conceptual knowledge of the subject. The meeting exists to service the facilitator's personal value and the naïve process model, not the business, the staff or the customers.


Why just dont attend them?

Im invited to like 10 of meetings each week

Nobody expects me to attend those where im not really important or need to discuss stuff


Because that means I have to justify not being a "team player" then. And I can't be bothered with that. I'm not creating conflict for the sake of it.


Just stop attending then and do actual work and raise it up with whoever you report to. You are just as guilty for blindly accepting this behavior and then fucking around. Either do your job or do something else.
