It all depends on the meeting really. Some meetings are actually worth it and informative, others are just a waste of time and you want to get back to work. If I'm in a meeting about the new salary structure and I sit there with 15 people who are all equally affected by it but for some reason don't seem to have any questions about how much money they're gonna make following the restructuring, I'd be a fool not ask any questions.
If it's about the company's vision of the future or core values or some shit like that then obviously I don't give a fuck. I'd be more inclined to take the day off than to go to a meeting like that.

I'm in a strange place now, meetingwise, as my company still has meh meetings but...no one says anything. I'm sitting there with around 20 other people, all team leads from different projects so not exactly clueless, and the operations manager is giving is a breakdown of where the company is (in the name of transparancy), and...no one has any questions. I'm like wtf. Asked lots of questions. It's not every day you get direct feedback from the highest placed person in the office (the board is in Sweden, otherwise Malta is the biggest office and his is the highest placed operations person so...pretty important). If he actually answers them, which he did, it's pretty great stuff to know.
I found it's the Scandinavian thing. Most of the people I work with aren't Scandinavian, but the company culture is. And I've found that Scandinavians do not have open discussions or ask questions in group meetings. They sit there and nod, then go into backrooms for personal meetings. Weird stuff.
