Zoom Fatigue Unpacked: Understanding and Overcoming Virtual Exhaustion

Robustly challenge what you think are unwarranted meetings. Preface your input in meetings that are silly but still exist with "Hi, I'll keep this concise because I know everyone has a lot of work to do ...", make a habit of reconfirming the value and purpose of the remaining meetings. Make it normal for meetings to whither quickly when not vital.

I go further and simply don't attend meetings that lack an agenda or at the very least point out when there isn't one when the meeting starts.

I don't spend much time in meetings.

I was complaining about this to my manager, he said attending meetings doesn't affect my perf and I just shouldn't go if I think it's pointless. So I stopped going to a couple. No one has made a peep. I need to start voicing for the smaller meetings tho. I've starting asking the groups "any agenda for today?" A couple hours before but I feel like the meeting organizer should really be on top of this.
