Unfortunately the pursers are under incredible pressure to be out of the briefing rooms on time. They are watched and reported on by cabin crew minions trolling the hallways.
OTOH, we are supposed to check all of documents, check new FCIs, evaluate whether or not ETOP alternates are suitable and review 70+ pages of NOTAMS. Of course we can just brief the first hour of the flight, but this is getting ridiculous. None of which counts towards FTDTLs. It's a two edge sword, piss off your purser and "lose the team" being late for the combined brief or do the "brief" checking all of the garbage that is supposed to be checked.
drip, drip, drip. They're just slow boiling the frog and guess who's in the water. A little here and a little there.
