Appendix 4: The Secret Sauce of Emergency Meetings

Meetings that go off the rails are a thing of beauty. Like that one time, we had 37 people in the conference room and only 3 of them knew what they were talking about. Good times.

Lesson 2: The Power of Sudden Silence

Sometimes, you just have to know when to hold, and when to fold. Like that one time, we were discussing the finer points of 'The Importance of Being Earnest' when suddenly, everyone just stopped talking.

Turns out, it was because someone had an urgent meeting to attend. Go figure.

Lesson 3: The Joy of Redirection

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Like when you tell everyone to go to the break room, but really, you just wanted to grab a snack from the vending machine. Genius, really.

Who needs actual work, anyway?

Conclusion

Meetings: where the art of pretending to care meets the science of doing nothing.

That's all for today, folks. Carry on, and remember: it's not a meeting, it's a social experiment.
