The Henry Effect: A Study in Futility

Meetings & Reports: Appendix of Regret presents to you, our esteemed client, a comprehensive analysis of the Henry Effect, a phenomenon so mystifying it's almost as if we've been paid to write this report.

As our team of experts (Henry's mom, Henry's dad, and the janitor who's only there for the free coffee) delved deeper into the Henry Effect, we discovered:

• It's real
• We can't explain it
• It seems to be related to Henry's lunch breaks

Case Studies:

• The Great "I'm Late" Debacle of 2018: Henry's 3-hour lunch break resulted in a 4-hour meeting delay
• The "I'm Not Listening" Incident of 2019: Henry's apparent inability to focus led to a 2-hour tangent on cat videos

Recommendations:

We recommend:

• Henry takes more breaks, but not during meetings
• Henry's parents invest in a good therapist
• The janitor starts a support group
