Let's say you have 10 people in an hour long meeting, 7 of which don't want (or need) to be there, with no authority to exit*.
On conservative base salary rates, thats maybe $1K just raw cost for that group to meet. Perhaps only 3 people needed to be there, yet 7 more get loaded in "because optics (?)" or worse.
So we spent $1K to get $300 of possible "meeting value"...but it's worse, because the effectiveness of what that 3 are doing with 7 dead-weights drags it down further.
Add 10 people, when you needed 3 at most.
$1K → ~$150
x3-6 p/day, after day, after day

(*) Alternative (uncommon) realities.
In contrast, the McCarthy protocol:
- <Pass> allows any individual to leave a meeting if they feel they cannot contribute positively or are not gaining value from the discussion.
and
- <Check-Out> If you decide that you need to leave a meeting, you should explicitly declare your intention by saying, “I am checking out.” ← no explanation required.
