Discussion on question by Gray Sheep: A way to fight back the meeting-bongo, how dangerous is this idea?

@GraySheep I, too, hate unneeded meetings, but your boss won't know about that unless you tell him the same thing you told us in OP: too many meeting hours are significantly damaging the quality and quantity of your work, so you need to politely ask your boss which one is more important: meetings or product?

It's not the hours which matter. Ask yourself two things. "Does the meeting add value to my work?". "Does my presence add value to work of the other participants in the meeting?". If the answer to both questions is no, you shouldn't be in the meeting. If either answer is "I don't know" -- find out.

I think the dangerous part of what I have read is your attitude, which is very hostile. You should approach this with the attitude that you are looking to help the company, not show your anger at the situation.
