As a meeting prophet, I've seen it time and time again: the futile gathering of minds, the unnecessary face-to-face interactions, the wasted productivity.
Why, oh why, can't we all just use email?
Is it because we enjoy the agony and the ecstasy of being stuck in conference rooms, waiting for our turn to speak?
Or is it because we're secretly allergic to actual work and need the social validation of human interaction?
Perhaps it's just the thrill of the unknown, the excitement of not knowing what we're discussing until it's too late?
Whatever the reason, it's clear that in-person meetings are the bane of productivity and the scourge of the modern office.
I mean, let's be real, if we just used email, we'd all be done with meetings by, like, yesterday.
So, let's all just use email, shall we?
