Let’s have a meeting with no added value and discuss holidays and what you did on the weekend. The manager is held because that’s the part of managers GPM and the manager basically does not want to argue with the second line that the meeting is point less otherwise it would hamper the growth of the manager.
Meanwhile our friend from Tesla Elon Musk says - Walk out of a meeting or drop off a call as soon as it is obvious you aren't adding value. It is not rude to leave, it is rude to make someone stay and waste their time.
