The Best Meeting Jokes for Corporate Survivors
My boss said we need to improve communication at work. So I started a group chat called “Things I Can’t Say in the Meeting.”
I told my boss I needed a mental health day. He said, “That’s what meetings are for — we all suffer together.”
The agenda said 30 minutes. My soul left my body at minute 47. The meeting ended at minute 90. Nobody remembers why we were there.
I’ve started rating meetings like Yelp reviews. Today’s 2pm standup: one star. Cold. Overlong. Would not attend again.
“Let’s circle back on that” is just corporate for “I stopped listening twenty minutes ago and I’m not about to start now.”
My calendar has more recurring meetings than I have recurring will to live. Coincidence? My therapist says no.
