(CTOnews.com Note: about 179100 yuan).

According to the Stack Overflow platform, "in order to ease the pressure on staff meetings, Shopify completely cancelled all meetings of more than three people at the beginning of this year, involving about 12,000 schedules and activities, which is equivalent to saving 320000 employee hours." the platform also believes that:

The company should not hold "meaningless meetings". If meetings are necessary, the company must manage the meetings well, have a clear agenda, and keep the meeting time within a short range.

All participants should optimize the meeting through direct and clear communication and a clear decision-making path in order to enable participants to focus on the meeting itself.
