MEETINGS: Anatomy of a Meeting

Meetings are like a diseased organ in the corporate body. They multiply, they metastasize, and they suck the life out of you.

Here's a breakdown:

• Agenda: the carefully crafted list of things you'll never get to
• Minutes: the record of how many times the meeting was adjourned
• Attendees: the list of people who'd rather be anywhere else
• Chair: the human pinata for all your existential dread
• Decisions: the things that will inevitably be forgotten
• Notes: the scribbled notes on your napkin
• Productivity: the amount of actual work done during the meeting (hint: it's zero)
