Feel Like Meetings are a Waste? Here’s Proof.

meetordie

When I worked in corporate America I would always get frustrated with the time that my company wasted on meetings. For the most part, they were unproductive, pulled us away from what we needed to be doing and just ended up creating more overhead and protocols. We literally had meetings about meetings.

I’m not sure how scientific this is…but it’s definitely entertaining to at least get a rough idea of how much companies waste.
