I’m a technical writer, and I work on multiple development teams.
Each team has its daily, weekly, and monthly meetings.
I try to manage my time to get work done in between them.
One team tends to hold meetings constantly, and the meetings go very long.
So long, they schedule breaks during the meetings.
“Five minute break,” says the meeting coordinator.
One developer says if we don’t hold a break, we can get done five minutes sooner.
Even though they’d just work that extra five minutes, too.
But that doesn’t matter, really, because they argue over this for ten minutes.
