Dilbert: 90 Minute Meeting

Wow, is that ever true. Meetings with remote attendees fit this book >>perfectly.

However, I think you only ever get "15 minutes of quality" time
regardless of any A/V issues.

It has always been my experience that the longer a meeting runs the less
gets done during it.

Maybe once. I haven't had an in-person meeting in over 2 years
but I've had some very large number of remote ones. Early on
when nobody was used to the system problems of that kind
happened, but now it's rare.

As long as you choose the right tools, and have decent internet. We
don't have much trouble.

We used to do a daily stand-up that worked really well--typically
they'd be around 15 minutes unless somebody had something that needed
more. Then executive management started requiring us to address more
and more and more _crap_ that was unrelated to the work we were doing
and they went to Hell.
