marcicatIn the past four work days, my workplace has managed to include me in the following mandatory meetings:
*company meeting
*2024 performance review
*weekly meeting with manager
(There would have been a fourth meeting: the weekly team meeting, but I took last Friday as a PTO day and was mercifully absent for that one.)
It seems wildly unnecessary to have all of these meetings in such a short period of time. Especially since the main messages were:
*'we'll tell you more about what to do in 2025 in some later meeting'
*'you were given your 2024 review in January, but let's read it together for some reason'
*'there was a meeting about what's going to happen in 2025, but it was confusing, so I need to go to another meeting to ask more questions'
HOWEVER! All three of these meetings ended on time, which is amazing and wonderful and something to truly be grateful for. And that's pretty much the state of work these days!
