That's... that's literally how I used to exit the conversation... Do we all do it? Do we all hate these meetings?!
Of course we all hate these meetings. They are pretendables, things managers impose on workers so they feel like good work is being done. If they were to just send a mail, they might think that not everyone got the message.
Blabla capitalism
But... what message? I can remember precisely two such meetings which held any degree of significance in my adequately performing my job in 12 years of working. Even Agile ceremonies were a waste of my time, as the only use they had was getting the PM to actually read tickets...
1:1s were kinda' the only meetings with some potential, but even those have been mostly performative from my experience...
The only other useful meeting was one in which a Global Head of Whatever presented us the department's future direction and I started laughing hysterically, that one was fun. For me.
