MODERATORS
I usually join the meeting and start asking a lots of questions and clarifications because I don't know what the stuff is about. After that, the amount of useless meeting requests drops like a rock.
you want me on the call, I'm there.
don't complain when I don't deliver on goals though.
What do I need prepare for my contribution in this meeting? Nothing. Ok I'll watch the recoding.
I'm not that good of an actor to be able to lie like that and keep a straight face.
Sometimes it's "because you'll be paid for your time and your boss wants you on the call".
I just say, "So, you guys need me in here?"
Or just preemptively reply with the second bit.
Yeah be sure to say you won’t be a value-add. That’s a great way to not get laid off.
If you don’t know what’s going on, but they make you go to the meeting, just go to the meeting and stfu.
If you do know what’s going on, and they make you go to the meeting, and it’s a bullshit meeting, then you can tell them to fuck off.
Something something avocado toast. Get off my lawn.
