Episode 151 | Keep or Kill: Meetings (All of Them)

Question

Hey, Work Wives! This is Brooke from Enid, Oklahoma, and I have a question about meetings. I feel like I'm always in meetings. Every hour of every day, of every month of my life is in a meeting. I really don't know when I get my real work done. And this has only gotten worse the more promotions I get, so, like, I'm now really... I don't know. Can I just say "no" to meetings? Can I tell people I'm not coming to a meeting? Like, I don't know what to do about these meetings. So, maybe if we just start with the basics of what is a meeting even good for? I, I don't know. That would help me make some sense and some decisions on which ones I'm super not going to. Thank you so much.

Summary

Oh, look! Another meeting invite! Is there an agenda? Do you have to go? Could it be an email? Your Work Wives know.
