If you had to identify, in one word, the reason the human race has not achieved, and will never achieve, its full potential, that word would be meetings.
-Dave Barry
FUN FACT
In one month, an astonishing 650,000 people in the USA used Google to search for the term meeting meme. To put that in perspective, there had been 227,000 searches for the much beloved cat meme and only 24,300 searches for the mighty Chuck Norris meme. You’re in good company if you’re looking for an ironic way to describe your meeting experience! (Psst…use MeetingFull to bring respect+purpose to your meetings.)
When a 40 hour work week has 50 hours of meetings
Meetings: Where minutes are kept and hours are lost
Explaining you're are social vegan and can't meet
Meetings: Where the agenda expands to whatever time was booked
When a powerpoint presentation uses comic sans
When you feel lonely so you call a meeting
When you have a solution but can't interrupt the meeting
No idea why we were invite to this meeting
When your three hour meeting has no attendee feedback
The precise amount for a full day of meetings
When your meeting is the top priority after my text messages
We applaud your presentation ending on schedule
Me pretending to be frozen when asked a question on Zoom
Yes, the meeting is being recorded
Meetings, where together we do the work of one
when the meeting agenda says review your proposal
When you're about to join a meeting and can't find your notes!
Can someone tell me the point of this meeting?!
Sure, i'll put on a mask and return to the office
What do you mean "the camera is on?!"
When you're working from home and your boss messages about a Zoom meeting
What do you mean "there's no agenda"?!
When you call a meeting for Friday and everyone RSVPs
Planned a meeting during lunch and didn't serve food
Sure this is water getting me through this meeting!
Preparation for a full day of meeting!
Double booked my calendar. Sure, I can be at both
Meeting has been canceled!!
Oops!! Wrong screen
I'm not sure why my WIFI is spotty
What is this meeting about?!
Forgot to record the sales meeting
How mandatory is this mandatory meeting??
It's a meeting to plan for our next meeting
Just survived another meeting that could have been an email
Calculating time zones for our next meeting!
When you realize that you forgot your green screen
Made it through another full day of boring meetings
Why weren't you at my meeting?!
Unmute yourself!!
When the meeting is over and people keep asking questions
Trying to find a time open on everyone's calendars
8:00 AM team meetings are a form of torture!!
Sent someone to cover for me at the team meeting
Oh, but I am unmuted
At the end of the journey to find the conference room
That moment you realize there are new acronyms to learn
Was clean shaven and buzz cut when this meeting started!!
A conference call... at 4 PM on a Friday?!
When your meeting's over and you know you nailed it
Planned a meeting during lunch and didn't serve food
Meeting has been canceled!!
Forgot to record the sales meeting
Just survived another meeting that could have been an email
Why weren't you at my meeting?!
8:00 AM team meetings are a form of torture!!
when the meeting agenda says review your proposal
At the end of the journey to find the conference room
We applaud your presentation ending on schedule
Meetings: Where the agenda expands to whatever time was booked
