Whether we like it or not, communication is a crucial part of doing most types of jobs. However, the type of communication that we should be doing can vary. Although plenty of those in the corporate world protest that other peoples' queries could have been an email, many working days are filled with meetings upon meetings.

Those who schedule them may always insist that they are important in some way, but not everybody feels the benefit. One such person is @melylyzbth, who works a corporate job and took to TikTok to complain that the amount of meetings she had to attend made her a lot less productive with the rest of her job.

Countless commenters chimed in to agree, with many revealing that the only way for individuals in these kinds of roles to get work done was to put in a lot of overtime. While some meetings might be useful, it can't be denied that crap like this feeds into the quiet quitting phenomenon.
