The recent boom in remote work has revealed many redundancies about the office culture. The biggest realization is that we don't really need a two-hour commute everyday to reach an office building in order to do something meaningful. The second one is the fact that long-drawn meetings are high on symbolism and low on substance.

Most meetings suck because they are called hastily, run poorly, and involve too many people but yield too little outcome. In 2019, Doodle released a State of Meetings report which found the cost of poorly run meetings to be $399 billion in the U.S. and $58 billion in the U.K. That's half a trillion dollars down the drain just for corporate teams to throw buzzwords like "think out of the box" and "let's take it offline."
