Shopify Tells Employees To Just Say No To Meetings

The chief executive officer of the company said that the best thing a founder could do was to leave. It is easier to add things than to remove them. You say no to everything you could have done with that period of time if you say yes to something. The set of things that can be done shrinks as people add things. You end up with a lot of people just keeping the status quo. Today's hybrid workplace has made large, long and unproductive meetings a problem. Clorox, Meta Platforms, and Twilio are some of the companies that have instituted no-meeting days.
