In this brief multi‑speaker exchange, Speaker A describes joining a fully‑remote startup that holds a daily standup with management present, lasting an hour from 9:30 am to 10:30 am. Speaker A expresses disbelief that a daily meeting starts the workday and notes that there are two additional meetings, questioning the necessity of such a long, management‑led session. Speaker B echoes the sentiment, calling a daily hour‑long meeting “dumb.” Speaker C concludes the discussion. The conversation highlights concerns about meeting length, frequency, and the impact of management participation on perceived meeting value in a remote work setting.

I joined a startup that operates fully remotely last year that has a daily standup meeting with management present that lasts for 1 hour from 9:30 to 10:30. Given the—
1 hour? Yes.
You said, when does it start? 9:30 AM. 1 hour meeting every day? Yes. This is daily. To start the day is crazy. I'm already, already, that's crazy. And they said there's 2 more. Also management's there. I don't know if that changes anything, but sounds like it's like a big meeting.
But every day, like I'd say like 1 Once a week, an hour meeting, that's maybe an hour meeting every morning is dumb.
All right, we're done here. We're done. We, we finished it.
