      I had to prove we had too many meetings (20-25 a week) to my direct manager who was in almost all meetings and didn’t believe me.

      Result?

      A meeting about it.

      I was a software developer at that place, no managerial duties at all.

      CEO schedule:

      9 AM - Meetings (optional)
      11 AM - Tax deductible “business” lunch
      1 PM - Meetings (optional)
      6 PM - Tax deductible “business” dinner

      Throughout: callousness, greed, and maybe some light treason

        What is the average age of Lemmy… I’m curious now. It seems younger than Reddit

    Unironically, blocking off 2 days a week in advance so that I don’t get any calls scheduled and can work on my tasks in peace had helped a lot.

      This would be great if my busy times were actually respected when scheduling meetings. They are not.

    I have a call to Kaiser to set up a specialist appointment that I’ve been “forgetting” for a week . . .

    it’s a fucking automated system

    Google calendar at works gives statistics about the invitations and events. A normal work week for me is 35~40% meetings. I am in a management position in an international company with most of my teammates abroad in different countries.
