'I am so sick of these meetings': Micromanager adds 10+ hours of meetings to employee's schedule to review why not enough work is getting done

Let this story serve as yet another reminder to managers and supervisors everywhere that if it can be communicated in an email, there is absolutely no need for a meeting.

Here is another tale of a micromanager who seems to be so concerned with their employee's level of productivity and has zero self-awareness considering the fact that they have been repeatedly adding 10+ hours of meetings every week. But then again, who is genuinely surprised here? Micromanagers never realize that they are often the problem. Perhaps they should give the song "Antihero" another listen and repeat the lyrics, "It's me! Hi, I'm the problem, it's me." Because the truth of the matter is that in most companies, every meeting is time taken away from getting things done. Sometimes, it's necessary but more often than not, it's really about managers convincing themselves that they're doing a good job.
