team meeting

Group work session

A team meeting is a scheduled gathering where members of a work group come together to share information, discuss projects, or make decisions.

The term carries connotations of corporate routine—often dreaded as time-consuming or unproductive: Half my day was wasted in team meetings.

Can be genuinely useful or merely performative depending on workplace culture.
