Meeting Hacks: Bingo Card Edition
Because meetings can be a real pain, we've created a bingo card to help you survive (or even enjoy) your next meeting.
Check off all the things that sound familiar to you.
- Someone mentions a project that's been on the table for years.
- The word "synergy" is used at least 5 times.
- Someone pulls out a PowerPoint that's 50 slides long.
- The meeting is moved to a different time zone.
- You're asked to "just go with it" without explanation.
When the jargon starts flowing, mark off all the buzzwords you're not familiar with.
- Ambititious synergy.
- Low-hanging fruit.
- Mission creep.
- Nimble.
- Paradigm shift.
When everyone's speaking, mark off all the people you can't identify.
- Coworker Bob from accounting.
- Jane from HR (who's always late).
- Mike from IT (who's always on his phone).
Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
