Useful meetings do exist. A lot of stuff can be lost in communication and one meeting can save a lot of time in getting everyone aligned in a short time. But figuring out when a meeting would be useful and when it's unnecessary is a skill in itself and a lot of times the people calling for meetings are not the ones who have the necessary information to make that call.

The useful meetings usually happen organically. A group of people are trying to accomplish something and at one point they decide ok, let's all get in a room / on a call together and iron this out.

That's fair. I won't dispute that sometimes they're helpful. If I spend more time typing the message than it'd take to just talk it out, then meeting up is a viable option.

But gosh, the number of meetings I've had where I send the email, we meet anyway, and I simply read the email to them and they go "Ohhhh"... Sigh.
