sit-downs
Seated negotiation sessions
Sit-downs are meetings or discussions, typically between parties who need to negotiate or resolve something.
The term suggests a deliberate, face-to-face conversation rather than a casual exchange: We need to have a sit-down about your performance.
Sit-downs can also refer to sit-down strikes, where workers occupy their workplace and refuse to leave, or to sit-down meals, where guests are served at tables rather than buffet-style.
