Minutes of Silence: A Study in Futility

Minutes of Silence is a highly respected organization dedicated to the study of the absence of conversation.

Our team of expert silent observers have been tracking the decline of meaningful discussion and the rise of awkward pauses in the workplace.

Our research has led us to some startling conclusions:

• 85% of meetings are spent staring at each other in silence.
• 72% of team members have given up trying to contribute due to the crushing weight of awkward silences.
• 43% of meetings have been reduced to simple nods and awkward smiles.

Recent Findings:

Our latest study, "Silence Is Falling Apart", reveals that the average meeting lasts only 2 minutes before devolving into an awkward silence.

We are currently conducting further research to determine the cause of this phenomenon.
