April Fool’s
A groundbreaking study released this morning by the Global Organization for Tactical Calendar and Holistic Alignment confirms what many of us have suspected for years.
Meetings are most productive when they have no agenda, no defined end time, and take place during your scheduled lunch.
Researchers also found that adding "per my last email" and cc'ing the recipient's supervisor to any communication increases team morale by forty seven percent. It goes on to say that replying all is actually a sign of strong leadership.
The study recommends a minimum of six status updates per active project and suggests that any decision that can be made by one person should instead require a committee. It also recommends that after a decision has been made, the committee should second guess and delay implementation for at least two weeks.
This study was peer reviewed. Completely legitimate. Do not fact check this.
Happy April Fool's Day!
