I was working in big enterprises for many years with lots of online meetings, and I was so tired of them. Every day I had hours of meetings, making me so tired and unmotivated.
Now I’m at a smaller company and we don’t have standups, 1 on 1s etc. I have 2 meetings per week only. It’s fantastic. Made me really like this job.
I have been blessed to have worked only for small companies of less than 25 people. Now I work for a company that I own (minority shareholder) with three more colleagues. Less than 15 people. We are extremely happy now, although I used to say the same for a couple more companies that I was the employee of up until a few years ago. My wife works for big organisations that last few years. I don’t know how she copes with all the meetings.
My girlfriend too, she works for big corp and have tons of meetings. But she is not interested in being a maker (like someone who does the work). She wants to be a manager that tells others what to do. And she is, and she is miserable most of the time.
I think some people just value the status higher than their happiness.
