Article 1: "The Purpose of Meetings: A Rant"
Meetings: the bane of productivity, the scourge of sanity, and the delight of...well, no, they're just the bane of productivity and the scourge of sanity.
But someone has to do it, I suppose. Someone has to sit in that sterile conference room, nodding along, and wondering why they're not getting anything done.
So, let's make the most of it. Let's make the meeting so bloated, so sprawling, and so utterly unnecessary, that we'll all forget what we're even meeting about in the first place.
1. We must have a meeting to discuss this meeting.
2. We must have another meeting to discuss the minutes of the first meeting.
3. We must have a third meeting to discuss why we couldn't get anything done in the previous two meetings.
And so on.
