Meeting 505: The Quick Delegate
Objective: To delegate as much as humanly possible, while maintaining a facade of competence
Attendees: John, Jane, Bob, and 3x the intern.
Agenda:
- 10:00 - Introduce self, pretend to care about the project
- 10:05 - Delegate tasks to the intern, blame the previous meeting's attendees for the mess
- 10:10 - Admit to knowing nothing, but claim it's a "learning experience"
- 10:20 - Take a 30-minute break to check phone, scroll through memes
- 10:50 - Reiterate the importance of meeting minutes, while secretly taking 10 minutes to scroll through notes
Decisions:
- Delegate the task of writing the report to Bob, while secretly having it written by the intern
- Decide on a color scheme for the new marketing campaign, because "colors are hard"
Action Items:
- Follow up on the intern's progress, while actually doing nothing
- Send an email to the team, claiming "I meant to do that"
Next Meetings:
- Meeting 507: The Real Deal - When we actually start making progress, if that's still possible
- Meeting 504: The Delegation Fail - When the intern gets it wrong, and we're all stuck with the mess
