I had a fun tool at my last company. It took the average salary or corporate title, looked at the people invited to the call, and let you know what it’d cost.
It’s a great bit of info to share with the meeting fanatics.
I was not popular for doing that at an old job haha. After like the second time people just seemed mad about it.
We had “stand-ups” in the morning where about 25 people had to stand around for 30 minutes every single day. I forget what I’d calculated that to cost but it was absurd and rarely brought any value to anything.
We had all-company standup meetings every morning at my last job. 25 US employees and about 100 in India. Never took less than an hour and usually closer to two. They started at 7 am so that the India employees could participate at the end of their day. That was my first exposure to companies that claimed to be “AGILE” while still doing shit the same old way.
The thing I never understood was how long each India employee would talk. Like, don’t you motherfuckers want to go home?
That’s a great idea! How’d you estimate the salaries?
I had access to the data. But you can also just Glassdoor it.
yeah i quit a job I had because it was always meetings where nothing got done but people just wanted to socialize and jerk each other off w/ the pretext of ‘productivity’. or go on these rants about totally unrelated nonsense.
my current job has one meeting that’s 45m every two weeks. and maybe once a month it goes to 90m if a major policy change is active. It’s so productive, and nobody at my company needs to inject their weird little ego trips either, it’s actually 100% work focused.
People who complain about meetings should be forced to manual labor for atleast a week
Damn a lot of entitled babys in the replys
Hey, fun fact, I work in construction and most people who attend weekly meetings also complain about them!
There’s only so many meetings I can attend in a day, and still get shit done.
So maybe take your gatekeeping somewhere else?
