A 2020 survey by Better Meetings1 found that 78% of professionals feel that their meeting schedule is either always or sometimes out of control.
54% blame their crazy meeting schedules on upper management or their direct manager.
- “My workload is off the charts, and I have several meetings on top of it every day.“
- “ I’m pretty good about managing my time, but when meetings constantly interrupt it throws me for a loop.”
- “I skipped the last meeting to hit another deadline and the scheduler was snippy with me. It makes me wonder — what is their workload versus mine? Obviously they have time!”
- “It’s the culture of where I work. Everything is a meeting.”
