It can be done anytime, but keep it on your calendar for the same time next week....just in case.

I was in the cc, not in the to - so not my problem.

That was covered in the pre-"status meeting" meeting. Feel free to schedule an impromptu post-"status meeting" meeting to discuss things we just discussed but without the people who have left the room already, so we can have another meeting with them later.

The place I work at is meeting hell. I have status meetings all the time, some of them *daily*.

Gotta be there to answer questions about your status and if anyone has questions for you on their status as well... or if you don't you will get your hand chopped off

All of that could/should be handled by email.

Status meetings are the worst. Basically wasting an hour or more talking about stuff instead of actually doing stuff.

Do a study on what the meetings are costing in terms of production and service. The only thing corps understand is money. Of course, if there's a top dog's ego involved, they don't even understand that.

It's how managers justify their jobs. They don't give a shit about company's money versus their jobs.

I give status to 5 or 6 different management chains every week, and of course they all have a different format and different stuff they want. Complete waste of time. The total project is ~7 years of design, yet have to have weekly status meetings and report new "accomplishments" every week.

On top of 2 daily "tag-ups." Hard as shit to get anything done when you have 25+ hours a week of meetings.

My daily status meetings are pretty boring as well, mostly because I spend most of my day doing the same damn things every day. Do you really need a reminder what I'm working on, when most of it hasn't changed in months?
