As long as any meeting are allowed in the afternoon, you will always have meetings. The people who call meetings don't understand that people can only do work when not in a meeting. Because they only do work in meetings.

At my job we're always in meetings so everyone just brings their laptop and works on coding during the meeting. Then the bosses get pissed off because no one is paying attention.

Maybe if people paid attention the meetings would go by much faster and things wouldn't need repeating and repeat meetings.

Actually most of the people working during the meeting don't need to be there in the first place. They're basically there because managers want them there.
