"Unnecessary meetings and endless PowerPoints need to be replaced with clear objectives and more prototypes, he wrote. One-on-one meetings should also be biweekly by default, he added, and employees should feel free to decline meetings that fall within their "focus blocks." "Every six months, we'll cancel all recurring meetings and only re-add the ones that are absolutely necessary," he wrote."
"Instead of slide decks, Mosseri also said employees should be presenting more prototypes—especially when it comes to product overviews. Prototypes, he said, help the company better establish a proof of concept and get a sense of "social dynamics." "If a deck is necessary, it should be as tight as possible," he wrote. Product review meetings should also have clear objectives and a clear goal, "I want most of your time focused on building great products, not preparing for meetings," he wrote."
U.S. employees must return to the office full time starting Feb. 2, with remote employees exempt and New York City staff delayed until space constraints are alleviated. The policy aims to increase collaboration and boost in-person creativity while also fundamentally changing routines. Unnecessary meetings and lengthy slide decks will be replaced with clearer objectives, more prototypes, and tighter presentations. One-on-one meetings default to biweekly and employees may decline meetings during designated focus blocks. Recurring meetings will be canceled every six months and only re-added if essential. Product reviews must have clear goals, prioritizing building over meeting preparation.
