Meeting-Related Terms of Endearment
Because, apparently, love is not enough
Here's a list of terms we, the meeting enthusiasts, love to use, but secretly hate:
- Agenda: A fancy word for "stuff we want to do, but probably won't"
- Minutes: The minutes we take to write down what was said, but not what was actually done
- Action Items: Tasks assigned to others, but not to oneself (we're too busy taking minutes)
- Decision Fatigue: When you've had enough of making decisions, but still have to pretend you care
- Consensus: When we all agree, but still do our own thing
- Action Item Follow-Up: When someone else is finally doing the thing we assigned to them, but now it's old news
