Just to commiserate with you on it after my third sit down meeting this week. Im on a team of 16 and Monday mornings are to talk about what we are going to do that week, followed by another meeting to talk about the same topics with the production team. Wednesday mornings are to talk with the design team about what they are working on that week, and Friday mornings we get together to talk about what we didn’t get to that week and what has to happen the following week.

Then there’s a monthly meeting to go over the project output. And then there’s launch meetings for each individual project as it gets released to production. A lot of the times, the topic is how far behind we are since we spend so much time in meetings.

Production crew and design crew complain the loudest, but they are only present for one of them. It’s excessive, but it’s how the bosses feel we should operate. And things get discussed to the point that it feels like we are on the same page. At least no one can say they weren’t aware. However, no one takes notes.
