u How often do you have meetings at work that you have to attend? And how much of what is discussed is actually important to your role?
I have one every week. Nothing at all is vital to my part of the team.
I hate meetings. When I was working, I was the Principal Engineer (supervisor of all city engineering and surveyor staff) for a mid-size CA city. I held a daily staff meeting to find out the status of specific projects as well as handing out new assignments. Fifteen to twenty minutes was my maximum.
Every Thursday at 0900 I met with the City Engineer and the Public Works Director, where we covered a wide variety of projects, current and future. If there had been a City Council meeting the night before then it was a subject of discussion. Starting in February I had to begin working and reporting on the next fiscal year's budget, which required a lot of time.
Some meetings lasted until lunch time... and the Director NEVER bought lunch, not even once.
Weekly ( sometimes twice per week) bullshit meetings to rehash shit I have know for years and listen to one of the supervisors drone on and on and on about more bureaucratic bullshit while I am seething inside saying to my self " Look how these assholes pile more bullshit work on us and yet they steal the amount of time we have to actually complete this shit"
I fucking hate meetings.
We have daily meetings where they go over the SAME shit (people disappearing, people using their phone, people going on break early or leaving their station too early, etc.,) but never DO anything about it 🙄
I think theyre going to be every Friday or every other Friday. We just consider it free time to goof off tbh

All the time but mostly one-one kind of thing. This damn virus and Zoom made my life hell as it is constant now. People are addicted to it instead of Skype/FaceTime maybe once a week. It is like texting now.
I have a daily meeting - every morning. Most of it is relevant, but boring. Your typical "get this over with so we can actually do work" stuff. There are bigger meetings periodically.
I'm usually in at least 1 or 2 meetings a week, any of which pertain to my job, so I'm OK with that.
I have at least an hour of phone meetings daily just for my team. If I'm training people you can add another 2 hours or so for that day.
u weekly... and they are absolutely vital
mostly, to plan on availability for the next week plans
About every two weeks as a teacher. I voted "weekly" but it's really twice a month.
Average 2 or 3 a week routine ones, then ad hoc ones for different peices of work
I used to have them every week. They could go 2-3 hours. It was a big waste of time mostly.
Twice a week, once on a Monday morning and once on a Thursday afternoon, both are scheduled in for 30 minutes but rarely last that long.
Never had one. We’re supposedly starting monthly safety meetings but hasn’t happened yet
Everytime I come into work we have breifs/meetings and I don't listen to shit.
Maybe once or twice per year.
Weekly but it's only 10 minutes.
