I don’t like meetings, especially if it’s a regular meeting with no agenda. It’s such a waste of time. It would be better if the time allocated for that meeting would be spent for a more productive work.

I also have the same perspective about meetings like what John said. I don’t like to spend time doing nothing in those pointless meetings. It’s better if I work with something on my worklist.
