Count me in the group that hates coffee / daily team meetings. Unless it’s a meeting used specifically for tangible directives, I refuse to attend. I have more important things to work on than useless coffee meetings that eat up time. At first, my superiors gave me the dirty eye, but productivity hasn’t faltered, so they’ve stopped asking me to attend. I just show up to show work later and attend the meeting once a week. If they fire me for skipping coffee meetings, be my guest, I’ll find work elsewhere!
Now back in the day when I worked on research teams, specifically organizations conducting field research, I always attended daily coffee briefings as they were indeed important. I’d put in 60-65 hour weeks, but that’s only because I loved the work. Now I’m in the industry, 40 hour weeks it is. If I’m not getting paid, I refuse to work.
