My favorite meeting is my 8am standup that's scheduled for 30 minutes and averages an hour. It really makes sure I have no energy to do anything else that day. Except it's every day. And most updates are "no updates" with extra words to make it sound like people are doing stuff.

Wow that's bad. The original idea of standing up, I understand, was to keep the meeting short through physical discomfort and only speak of blockers to progress or ask for help. It is not meant to report status, which can make people feel like they have to continually justify themselves and their work.
