Many Gen Xers are just barely staying alive. I hear your points and also hate meetings in general, but I'd recommend erring hard on the side of grace. They are filled with existential angst and can see the damage everyone has done to the planet.
They don't have energy after Covid stunted their physical and emotional well-being. Their parents don't understand them. They are overly self-aware but their brains haven't finished developing. They have microplastics in their bloodstream.
They wake up terrified every day. So meetings aren't their priority.
I can't say I blame them.
I love these guys and have high hopes for them as long as we can keep them alive.
