How Meetings Harm Well-Being

[sop]

1. I worked at a big company where seemingly the only thing some managers did to justify their existence was hold meetings.

Everyone had to stop working at a moment's notice, re-arrange their schedules and waste hours attending these nonsensical meetings where nothing was ever accomplished. Then there were the dreaded "break-out groups" following these absurd meetings, to further discuss whatever bullshit topic was on the agenda that day. A generally accepted rule was the more ineffective and incompetent the manager, the more meetings he/she would hold.
