4 July

In my experience meetings have grown in organisations at the same time as managers have become more useless and higher paid. Meetings are the way those managers hide that they don’t know what they’re doing. If they did they’d just tell people to do it, which is what they’re paid to do. Some organisations spend pretty much their entire time in meetings trying to figure out what to do, and nobody asks why the people paid big bucks to know that, don’t.
