I turn up late to meetings to dodge small talk. Am I wrong?

I used to mute my microphone and camera until the meeting proper started

Some of them (google) have a waiting room where you can see who is "in".. and decided to join with that knowledge.

people make small talk for many reasons. like passing time while waiting for late meeting invitees.

so it’s a bit worse than “wrong.”
