I stopped caring about managers loving endless meetings and priority shifts.
They pay me to attend to meetings.
I'll give them what they want.

But if they ask me if the feature is done, I make them attend a meeting for that.

My feelings exactly. As long as the meeting isn't outside of business hours. I do still get upset when people schedule meetings around lunch though.

@ChaoticGoods there's a hack: make a perpetual meeting at lunchtime,so that any scheduling tool will show you as "busy"

I am currently testing interrogation and social engineering techniques to try and use those meetings to provoke desired outcomes.

This personal research is however yet in its infancy and so far inconclusive.

Thanks, JCS, you inspired me.
