I repeat these exact same words on each retrospective of my new scrum team with 16 people. The amount of overhead is insane and I've simply started not showing up to some meetings and just asking for conclusions. Usually, there aren't any or it has been concluded that another meeting is neccessary.

I remember a certain retrospective and being called out for not participating enough.

I was one of the few people dealing with outage at the time, which was known to project management... (And we had to deal with said outage with laptops on knees in overfilled conference room)
