Split-Infinitives: The Art of Meeting Moderation

According to the ancient art of Meeting Prophets, the Split-Infinitive is a sacred ritual performed by senior management to confuse and intimidate junior staff.

By invoking the Split-Infinitive, the Meeting Prophets seek to create an aura of uncertainty, allowing them to dictate the course of action without actually committing to anything.

Key principles of the Split-Infinitive include:

• Never say never, but never say yes either.
• Always use words like " potentially" andประก "at this time".
• Invoke the phrase "I'm not sure" at least three times per meeting.
• Makeประก "further research" a euphemism for "we're not doing it".
