Meeting 6 Subpage: Overpaying the Experts, Part 2
In this, the sixth installment of our thrilling series on Redundant Meetings, our intrepid heroes found themselves in a precarious situation.
After the disastrous meeting 5, where they overpaid for 12 hours of PowerPoint presentations, our stalwart team realized that the experts they had hired were, in fact, expert-level hamsters in disguise.
As a result, they decided to double down on their spending, hiring a team of actual experts, but this time, they overpaid for their lunch, a 10-course, artisanal, locally-sourced, organic meal.
"I don't get it," said John, the team lead, "we're already overpaying for the experts, why are we overpaying for their lunch?"
"Well, John," replied Jane, the team member, "we can't have them working on an empty stomach. It's a known fact that a hungry expert is a grumpy expert."
And so, the meeting continued, with our heroes sipping on artisanal, small-batch, fair-trade coffee and munching on locally-sourced, gluten-free, vegan snacks.
But, as the meeting drew to a close, they realized that they had, once again, overpaid for the experts' time, this time, by a factor of 3:1.
"This is getting out of hand," said John, exasperated.
"Don't worry, John," replied Jane, "we'll just add it to the bill. After all, we're already paying for the experts' therapy sessions to deal with the stress of overpaying us."
