Meetings: The Redundant Edition

Why prophets are often wrong

Meetings. Because who needs email, anyway?

We're not saying our ancestors were wrong when they invented the wheel, or the written word, or even the wheelbarrow. But let's be real, if you can't even be bothered to send a simple email, you might as well just shout it from the mountaintops.

Or, you know, just have a meeting about it.

Why, you ask? Well, it's simple: meetings are the ultimate form of procrastination, the sincerest form of flattery, and the most creative excuse to avoid actual work.

But don't just take our word for it. Here are some reasons why meetings are the new black:

• Meetings are like hugs for adults: they make everyone feel good, but ultimately serve no real purpose.
• Meetings are the new "I'm going to go grab a coffee" of productivity: it's not that you can't do the thing, you just need to "touch base" with people first.
• Meetings are the only way to get a raise: just say you're "collaborating" and "synergizing" and "disseminating" and... well, you get the idea.
• Meetings are the only thing more painful than a root canal.

And don't even get me started on "deep dives".

Deep Dives are the worst: where we take the most basic, surface-level ideas and dive so deep into them that we forget why we even started in the first place.
