meeting fatigue
Too many gatherings
Meeting fatigue is the exhaustion that comes from too many meetings, especially back-to-back video calls.
The term gained currency during the remote-work shift of the early 2020s, when workdays became strings of virtual gatherings.
Unlike physical tiredness, meeting fatigue is mental drain from constant attention, performance, and the unnatural experience of staring at faces on a screen: I've got meeting fatigue—can we just handle this over email?
