Could not agree more. They're big-corp specific and if you can avoid them - that would be a big plus for you. I can't. They lack value while being a complete waste of time. You may think it's no biggie - "but I'm getting paid for the meetig time".
True, however - they can wear you down in time, if three-four times a day... and you are still expected to deliver, regardless the time spent in meetings.
That's only my oppinion, I know some folks are fine with long meetings. My view on this is - I am not an entertainer (aka meetings "super-star"), I would like to keep it short & to the point.
Regarding the article, there is some good stuff in there, that may or may not apply to everyone (especially if you have kids).
