The Ancient Guide to Redundant Meetings

Meetings, meetings, everywhere. But have you ever noticed, the ones that never end?

  1. Create a 17-page agenda, with each page a summary of the previous one.
  2. Use buzzwords like "synergy" and "disrupt" to keep things exciting.
  3. Make everyone repeat the same points, in the same order, for the next 5 hours.
