i finally gave up and bought noise cancelling headphones because everyone else talks like theyre in a windstorm in neighboring desks/conference rooms very far away from me and they helped immensely they also double as a headset and i can play music on them while on a call so i can multitask ignore my calls at a whole new speed never imagined before today i listened to an audiobook on a conference call and it made it the most informative call in my career

and someone rescheduling a meeting now needs to wait for it to be accepted into the meetingchain for a few hours before the invites can go out ... thus delaying everything and disrupting corporate meetings culture... poo poo ... blockchain good ?

anything that makes teleconferencing so painful to use that people find other forms of communication is a net good, yes.

got locked out a bunch early in the week not too long after a SSO password change, finally realized it was Skype for Business's fault after unlocking my account for the fourth time a very nice man at the helpdesk told me that they reduced the number of people authorized to use Skype for Business to a very small amount of teams that have a critical business need for it we still use zoom though so V  V

Was someone taking attendance? theres about one minute of time im needed and the other participants are hellbent on being there the whole time in case something needs my feedback, which it never does this is a weekly status meeting that could be done in 5 minutes of short reviews but the group somehow turns into a 40 minute discussion with topics that are better one to one calls meanwhile they spam dumb emails all week that could instead be handled in this meeting. its the most tedious waterfall project group ive ever worked with

at least the other devs will just call me directly and we hammer that poo poo out in a few minutes, but you add a designer that doesn't listen, devs that are overworked, and a ba that's being forced to pm and it all goes to pot quickly

if a meeting doesnt have an agenda or it doesnt have an agenda item that requires you, you decline the meeting easy peasy

Meetings in my experience have an agenda, it's usually something along the lines of: Subject: Project A 1. Determine what needs to be discussed 2. Discuss what has been determined in 1. Start time: 15:00 End time: When we're done Meeting notes: Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery to your e-mail inbox.
