Engineers: All a meeting does is distract from work.

Every leader ever: if we could do the right work, we could have less meetings.

I agree with the sentiment. And also understand the rage you’ll get.

Guess who defined “work” in the first place? I wonder if it’s some kind of manager schizophrenia where they define shitty requirements and outcomes and then act surprised when they get subpar result, which they try to promptly mitigate with more meetings.
