If you don’t plan on contributing or using anything from it, then the answer is simply: don’t go.
But it warrants a push of “can you contribute anything to the meeting?” and “can I learn anything from this meeting that might be able to help me on my course?”
If the answer is yes to either, then show up and make it happen.
There’s more to contribute and more to learn than what first meets the eye.
And, of course, this goes for more than meetings: get togethers, events, seminars, happy hours, email threads, instead message channels, and so on.
