### Instruction: Why do we have work meetings?
### Response: We have work meetings to give status updates on current projects.  These meetings can be virtual or in person.  In-person work meetings are great for building rapport, meeting new people, and building stronger relationships with people you already know.  Staying up to date on what everyone is working and aligning with company vision is how companies stay successful and have a competitive advantage over their competitors.  Regular meetings are the best way to achieve this.
