Any meeting involving PowerPoint can be an email instead. Just email the deck to people. If they have questions, they can either email you or request a meeting. But don't interrupt people if all you'r (kbin.social)

If someone emails me a deck, I'm not reading it.

@florge Neither do I unless it's directly relevant to my work. Most of the time, though, it's just rah-rah corporate culture bullshit. I still attend these calls (with my mic and speakers muted) because people notice when I don't even though I'm never called upon to speak. Then it's all, "He never attends all-hands meetings. He's not a team player."

Neurotypicals gonna neurotypical, I guess. This is what I get for becoming a programmer instead of an electrician.
