If a meeting doesn't have an agenda, then it has no terminating condition, and is therefore an infinite loop until it times out.
Don't go to those meetings.
And more constructively, don't create those meetings.
An agenda takes ~3 minutes to add; there's no excuse for not having one.
E.g. Agenda for this comment: (1) express agreement, (2) clarify what's toxic about agenda-less meetings using computer science analogy, (3) appeal to reader to improve their own behavior, (4) preemptively rebut complaints about suggested behavior. Done.
I wish this was enforced in meeting systems across corporations unless all participants elect not to have one (appreciate certain sensitive or perhaps social meetings might not need this)
