Meeting Survival Tips - Red Tape Edition

Surviving a meeting with bureaucrats is an art form. Here's our guide to not getting eaten alive.

• Bring a snack. You never know when you'll need to bribe the decision-makers.
• Arrive prepared, or don't bother coming. We won't miss you.
• Don't try to make friends with your coworkers. They're not here to chat.
• Take notes, but only on the back of a Post-It, because that's all the time you have for notes.
• When they say "synergy," just nod. Repeating it will not make it true.

Advanced Techniques:

• Learn to fake a yawn. It's like faking sleep, but with more eye contact.
• Develop a sudden and intense interest in the ceiling tile pattern.
• When asked to "rethink" something, just shrug. It's like, "I'm not arguing, I'm just... rethinking."
