@RustyCrab my boss showed me his calendar and he gets 30 minutes of unscheduled time a day. Everything else is meetings

@RustyCrab big companies love wasting time for no reason

The higher up you go the more meetings you go to, where you get assigned work that you delegate to the meeting-let peons.

@TarnishedYarmulke that'd be great except they also did mass layoffs and now I have no one to delegate to.

Sounds like a job for fiverr pajeets.

@RustyCrab depends. Are you being paid to work or talk about work?

RustyCrab, 5 months ago

@prettygood I am but I'm falling behind on deadlines because of it

@RustyCrab shitty. My issue is that it takes me extra time to spin down and back up again before and after each meeting. So like if there's an hour between meetings I don't even bother trying to get my head back in the game in that hour. So I feel your pain but I stopped caring, if they'd fire me I'd accept it

@RustyCrab fox tip: if all the time is taken up with meetings, you never have to do any actual work

RustyCrab, 5 months ago

@skylar yea that is exactly what's happening

I think I had 3 different daily meetings at my last big corp job, and managers got big sad when you skipped out on them to go do actual work.
