Counterproductive Meeting Hacks

Because Who Needs a Decision Anyway?

Turn Down the Proposal

Decline a meeting with a vague "I'm not sure I'm available" and watch the meeting organizer squirm as they try to reschedule.

Example:

  • When asked, "Are you free on Thursday at 2 PM?" say "I'm not sure, let me check."
  • Stare blankly at the meeting organizer, daring them to make the next move.
Advanced Techniques

Microwave the Decision

Use the microwave in the break room to "accidentally" reheat last week's leftover pizza, creating an explosive mess that forces the meeting to adjourn early.

Example:

  • Place the pizza in the microwave, set the timer for 30 minutes.
  • Abscondantly shout "I'll be right back!" and exit the break room.
  • Return to find the room in disarray, with flames and smoke billowing from the microwave.

Accidentally Scheduling It When Everyone Is Already at a Music Festival

Because Who Needs a Productive Meeting, Anyway?

Conveniently "forget" that the meeting is scheduled during a major music festival, forcing the attendees to either attend the meeting or the festival.

Example:

  • Send the meeting invite with the wrong date and time, but "accidentally" leave the original date and time in the notes.
  • When someone asks, "Hey, did you forget the meeting is today?" say "No, no, it's actually... uh, next week."
