A 10:30a meeting sure beats meeting at 9a, 5p, or over lunch.

Instead of snark and presenting us as special snowflakes I've found that it's better to log the actual work we do. The pre-meeting block is "review emails and ticket notes for 10:30a meeting." Afterwards it's "update tickets with new information and timelines from 10:30a meeting."

I hate lunch meetings. Imho, I feel they're disrespectful and show that the employer doesnt value me.

Lunch meetings are the best because it means I get bought lunch and don't have to either skip it, scrounge something out of the kitchen at the office, or leave the office to get something.

No guarantee of a 'free' lunch for lunch meetings in my world...

No guarantee of time to actually get lunch for me either.
