Yep. To anyone saying it takes up time that they need to get work done, remember the magic words “What would you like me to prioritize?”
Most meetings, in my obviously limited experience, are held by people who don’t have anything else to do. And all the people who need to get shit done are pissed about having to sit through a meeting that could have been handled with a short email.
In project management it’s pretty common for meetings to be held because the people needing to get shit done aren’t and are ignoring emails.

The geneva convention applies to foreigners in a war not your own population i think
