I love the idea of it being culturally okay to walk out on any meeting that isn’t adding value in the middle of the meeting. If that was culturally acceptable in my role, I would go to a fourth of the meetings I currently attend.

I would hate the idea that my primary purpose is to get pulled into random meetings:

> Instead of having a manager and a list of tasks, I was asked to sit in on meetings and add value to projects aligned with my interests or expertise.

Disorganised meeting structure with people coming and going at random? How could you possibly get anything done, as a contributor?

Master the art of sending "getting pulled into another call - have to drop" chats
I feel like this is what working from home has enabled in some places. Much easier to gracefully leave an online meeting.
