Is it management arrogance? I generally find about 1-2 minutes of value from these calls.

Stopped going or even dialing in about 2 years ago. Hasn't created any issues, so apparently not important.
They have to brag about their fancy vacations and pretend like they know what they are doing
Here is the challange. The same info is provided via multiple levels of management via calls plus via email plus on Flagscape. There is a belief among mgmt that over communication is better to be sure you get the message. I personally disagree, because information overload shuts a lot of people down and they stop paying attention to any of it. I'd prefer they pick a communication vehicle and I'll ge my info from there. So...personally the way I handle the multiple redundant meetings is....if my mgr calls a meeting, I go. If my 2 up calls a meeting I look to see the topics and I'll likely go. Above the 2 up, I'll go if my schedule is clear (and I have some degree of interest that day)....but will never cancel or rearrange a meeting to attend those.
Definitely management arrogance. Complete waste of time. I think our exec just likes to hear himself talk. Blah, blah, blah...
Quite a range of opinion -- an inkblot test.
These calls are a complete waste of time. Most of the time I am usually reading my emails and text messages. These calls are total bullspit.
The all hands calls are nothing but of a bunch of political rhetoric.. 100% waste of time and total B.S.
I think you got the premise wrong, from the get go. You should have started with this: Is it management arrogance or my ignorance? And I'm being generous with 'ignorance'. Know what I mean?
