Meetings @ work

is it just me or are most meetings pointless and dont accomplish anything?

At my work, what happens is that they pump everyone up and motive everyone. This lasts about a week or two then things go back to normal. It's the same thing every time.

I have 4 weekly meetings that my presence is absolutely required at unless I'm sick or on vacation. 3 of them feel absolutely redundant because it's repeating the same information three different times. The problem is that it's with three different groups of people. I just say... set one time up and go over it with everybody. Wipe it out in one fail swoop. The other is our weekly management meeting to go over our financials and upcoming events. I feel as though all are productive, just irritating is all.

I think one on one meetings are far more efficient. Anymore than two people in a meeting and people just throw around ideas and then you make a follow up meeting to the first one and that turns into a third follow up meeting for the second. In the end you're left empty handed thinking to yourself that you shouldn't have even bothered going to the first meeting in the first place.
