This is the game they talk at every single company in the bay area bar none. The meetings will still happen it's just posturing.

Your section with long monotype lines, which makes you have to scroll right to read it, makes we want to plead with HN commenters to stop doing it. Please, do quotes with >, it reads fine that way.

You are right. I have edited the comment to be easier to read.

Thank you, and apologies if I was too bitter with my tone.

That's an incredibly stupid reason to want to apply somewhere. Marissa used to send out emails with a variation of that content once in three months, and business went on as usual 2 levels and more below her.

Hey man, that' pretty aggro. I agree it would be a silly reason to apply to someplace solely because they didn't have meetings. I also agree that just because the CEO says it doesn't mean the company can do it.

But I still don't like the social convention that its people think its rude to leave a meeting when you have nothing left to contribute. I think any effort to change that could have a positive effect on workplace productivity and moral.

Sorry if what I said offended you!

> I think any effort to change that could have a positive effect on workplace productivity and moral.

Of course. But in most big companies, that's just CEO speak, business goes on as usual 2 days later. Musk already has a cult of personality, this type of email makes it sound even more like it'd be a good place to work (which it might be, but not because of the line you quoted).
