In the art of meeting avoidance, Technique 7 - Abdication is the ultimate escape route. This method involves subtly excusing oneself from a meeting, citing an emergency or family emergency as the reason for departure. The goal is to appear as if one has no choice but to leave, all while maintaining a veneer of politeness and respect for those left behind.
To master the Abdication, one must be prepared to abandon all pretenses of responsibility and accountability. It is a delicate dance of words and body language, requiring a deep understanding of corporate jargon and the art of feigned urgency.
But be warned, the Abdication is not without its risks. One must be prepared to face the consequences of abandonment, including but not limited to: guilt, anxiety, and the occasional raised eyebrow from coworkers.
