Depends on the meeting. I look forward to meetings where the process people will explain how stuff actually works so we know how to build the feature that will interface with their systems

I too heard about such meetings. I'm yet to participate in one though.

Thats a shame!

Ok. That's totally true, I also really enjoy meetings where people show me what they do in depth so I can build automation around their actual processes, as well as find ways to improve those processes and save time and effort.

Sometimes you even get to show off the cool, useful shit you built for them!

Useful meetings? Yes. Useless? No.

Only 1/20 meetings around my office I actually need to be a part of.

So why do you join them uninvited? /s

Most meetings are useless, or they could just be an email.

If your job is bad enough you look forward to useless meetings

When I worked in customer service in a callcenter we all tried to ask a bunch of questions to try to extend the meeting so we wouldn't have to go back on the phones. anything is better than being on the phones.

I worked in a call center for a month, failed miserably, and I completely understand what you're saying, 20 years later.
