Or their “worth”

Microsoft currently technically does unlimited time off, so there really is nothing stopping managers and PMs from cancelling meetings from every Friday and making this a reality for a global trial, but they wouldn’t do that because the meetings are a big part of how they show their worth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love telling my manager I wasn’t able to complete xyz because his Friday meeting of bs went 3 hours long when it should’ve been 30 min… I’ve even told coworkers to take it offline we don’t need a 45min description of your entire workflow for the project just say I accomplished x but having trouble with y because of z, drives me fucking crazy!

Refuse a meeting without a reasonable agenda and time limit, and indicate why it was rejected.
If the time limit is reached, tell the organizer that you have other tasks to tend to and leave the meeting.
Easier said than done, but we got to hold accountable the people that waste our time and energy.
