I’m not going to tell you how to live your life, but IMO, if you are at work just clocking your 8h, you should consider switching.

Also, if you think you are attending too many useless meetings, it’s your responsibility to let them (or at least your direct report) know. They might not be aware that you aren’t needed.

Fair point. I don't think I'm at work to "just clock my 8h". I actually enjoy what I do most of the time; it's just that I don't fight anymore against, imho, pointless company bureaucracy. But above all, my philosophy is: work is work; sometimes it's enjoyable, sometimes it's not.

Sure; I never said "don't give feedback". I was just assuming the scenario in which pointless meetings are "inevitable" for whatever reason and we have to come up with (although I know it's a joke) apps like the one we see here in this post.
