Meeting Topic: "The Implications of Redundant Meetings on Productivity and Sanity"
Attendees: Bob, John, Jane, Bob (again), and the Intern (who was only here for free coffee)
Notes:
- Bob: "I've been saying this for years, but have you guys ever noticed that we're spending too much time in meetings?"
- John: "No, Bob, I haven't noticed anything except for the fact that I've been in 12 meetings this month alone"
- Jane: "I've been keeping a spreadsheet and I think I've got some data to back this up"
Decisions Made:
- We should have more meetings
- We should have more free coffee
- We should make the intern sit in the corner and do nothing
Meeting Topic: "Follow-up Meeting to Discuss the Implications of Redundant Meetings on Productivity and Sanity"
Attendees: Everyone in the company (except the Intern, who was sent on a coffee run)
Notes:
- John: "I've been reading this article on the history of meetings and it says that the first recorded meeting was in ancient Egypt"
- Jane: "I've been looking into the company's meeting budget and I've got some alarming numbers"
Decisions Made:
- We should start charging for coffee
- We should rename the "Redundant Meeting of the Century" to "The Meeting That Changed Everything"
