Chapter 2: The Theory of Redundant Meetings

Meetings are the cornerstone of productivity. Or are they?

In this chapter, we'll delve into the fundamental laws of redundant meetings. Because, let's be real, you're not going anywhere.

According to our research, 90% of all meetings can be reduced to the following equation:

Where T is the number of attendees, M is the meeting duration in minutes, and R is the number of redundant minutes spent reiterating the same information.

For example, if you have 5 people in a meeting that lasts 30 minutes, with 20 of those minutes spent reiterating the same information, the equation would look like this:

5 x 30 = 150

150 - 20 = 130

Resulting in 130 minutes of actual productive work. Or, you know, 2.17 hours of wasted time.

Don't get us wrong, we're not here to bash the good people who lead these meetings. We're simply here to provide a framework for understanding the true nature of redundant meetings.

Chapter 3: The Thesis of Meeting Prophets explores the intersection of redundant meetings and existential dread.
