meeting overload
Too many gatherings
Meeting overload is the state of having so many scheduled meetings that little time remains for actual work.
The term captures a common frustration in corporate environments where calendars fill with calls and conferences, leaving employees to complete tasks in fragmented gaps or after hours: I can't take on another project—I'm in meeting overload as it is.
