Shopify tells employees to just say no to meetings
Banning recurring 3 person meetings initially sounded overly reactionary and reductive to me. It does sound like proliferation of meetings has become a growing problem and I wonder how much the video-off-zoom-attendance is a contributor.The article implies that they previously had multiple 50+ person meetings per week(!!)
"Big meetings of more than 50 people will get shoehorned into a six-hour window on Thursdays, with a limit of one a week."As someone who has never worked a company larger than ~300 people, can anyone enlighten me on what kind of meetings would have that many attendees, outside of say a quarterly all-hands?
