Idk, meetings can be stresful sometimes. 99% waste of time combined with 1% being put on the spot where if you accidentally say something stupid could have significant consequences (e.g. maybe you just agreed to a bunch of extra work. Maybe you just accidentally undermined someone, etc).

Of course depends on corporate culture.

Totally agree. Meetings have a massive mental cost for that reason. Evidence is how draining a set of back-to-back meetings is. Much more exhausting than the same amount of time spent in « deep work ».
