Like I know the ‘meetings’ troupe is well worn by now, but Jesus. I get lit up for not having meetings with people who aren’t involved, impacted, or otherwise relevant to the decisions…because you know, I was busy meeting with the people who ARE involved, impacted or relevant to the decision. Like do people just thrive off this sort of nonsense? This is the expectation? Be busy all the time and never consider why you’re ‘busy’? Meet and talk about things you’ve talked about a million times and chat about meeting to talk about things that you don’t need to even talk about let alone meet about them have a meeting about the talk you had then talk to others about the talk you had about the meeting and meet to talk about the talks about the last meeting better be mildly involved in everything all the time so I can ignore the actual issues at hand because I’m so busy with all this talking and meeting about things that don’t matter but hey we talked about it and decided to meet about the talk about those things that don’t matter.
####. Off.

What kind of work environment is this where you'd get flack for endeavouring to keep meetings well-defined and on track? That's seems to bizarre to me.
I have had meetings where the big boss went off on a weird tangent and I was able to chime in and tell him this wasn't the purpose of the meeting and we should keep it on track, because it's definitely in his best interest that we do. Anyway, we all like got reset and moved along.
Why don't you feel like you can be candid and honest about this at work? If I were your boss, I'd appreciate the effort.
