Or they may become offended, or cut you out of communications, or tell you their misunderstandings as if they’re true…
Many organizations cannot handle discussing or even innocently questioning their communication problems openly.
I would never use this calculator, for the record. There are ways to redeem the time, including trying as much as possible to make the bad meeting worthwhile.

Tell you their misunderstandings as it they're true. I really appreciate the phrasing there. Super useful for my own experience.
I would agree with this. A lot of folks retreat rapidly. One of the most common responses is "Why didn't you tell me this sooner so I could make meetings more useful?" It's a really slick deflection tactic.
I agree there are always ways to use the time better though.
