Ask HN: What is the most painful part of your meetings?
from thinking that you need one, receiving an invitation, during the meeting... to a week later
2. Vague meeting goals and no expected outcome. After an hour, the meeting ends and nothing was decided, no clear consensus, etc.
3. Having to join a meeting because people can't communicate in written form properly and think a meeting will be easier. Especially hard when people are in different timezones.
1. No clear agenda, or "standing meetings" for no reason.
2. Clueless people in the meeting that need to be brought up to speed when an email could have been enough.
3. Being in a meeting when you shouldn't really be there - a total waste of time. Musk is onto something here.
4. Meetings that can easily be an email.
Any team with decent teamwork, who have lunch together, communicate together, or even shitpost on Slack... they will know what's going on. Trello updates or some tool equivalent makes trivial progress updates unnecessary.
