I don’t know how to not be this person.

Everybody else is wrong. A meeting is for back and forth communication. If they didn’t want a meeting, they shouldn’t have scheduled a meeting. Just write a memo or something. Everybody has far too many meetings anyways, and you’re an asshole if you waste everybody’s time on extra meetings that aren’t even meetings.

Had a manager once who told everyone to turn on their cams so he would “know that they were paying full attention.” Heaven forbid you treat your team like professionals instead of 3rd graders!
