Why Do We Have So Many Meetings?
A new NBER working paper asks why modern workplaces are dominated by meetings, examining the economic and organisational forces that make them so common despite widespread frustration with their cost and frequency. Discussion online has focused on whether meetings reflect genuine coordination needs or institutional habits, with readers sharing their own experiences of meeting overload and debating how firms could cut back.
Why now: The topic resonates with workers frustrated by meeting-heavy work culture, and a new academic paper gives the complaint fresh attention.
