Yeah but when you're trying to get some work done, do you like having people interrupting you for 5-15 minutes?

There are days when I go into the office and the bosses aren't there. On those days I think "good, I can actually get some work done today."

I suppose it depends on the kind of work you do, but for many kinds of work, any kind of meeting represents a loss in productivity. Impromptu meetings, even if shorter, can be worse because it interrupts what I'm doing.
