Since lockdown all my team (15 people) are working from home. First thing every morning we have a call. It can be anywhere between 30 mins to an hour depending on who is chairing it. We go around everyone and say what they're working on each day, priorities, deadlines, anything they need help with. Firstly, this is an hour of my day (5 hours a week) that I could be using more productive. And honestly its either used by people to moan or be competitive about how much work each individual is doing. Even when told to keep it to a one sentence update it's usually the same people each day who do a 15 min soliloquy about every document n email they are reading. Management are useless they keep going on about wellbeing but it's all meaningless. Could I refuse to join the call on the basis that it us genuinely messing with my wellbeing? The moaning, the complaining, the bitching, the upmanship first thing every morning makes me hate a job that I actually love.
