I can say with absolute confidence that 99% or more of the meetings I've had in my career have been absolutely worthless.
Like of no benefit, whatsoever, for anyone.
I'm so lucky that now all the meetings I currently attend _are_ useful (there aren't many and each one has a specific purpose).
A really simple way of testing it is - could this meeting be an email? [the classic] And - does this meeting have a very specific purpose that the meeting can resolve?
If no/yes then fine.
Sadly most corporate practices are cargo cults where you _must_ have a weekly or (god help me) daily meeting even if the boss knows what you're doing, you know what you're doing, you literally use software to track exactly what you're doing, but for some reason you have to repeat it.
Do not get me started on the fucking scam that is agile (any agile) by the way.
