MEET OR DIE : WHAT YOUR WASTE-OF-TIME MEETING IS WORTH..

Cape Town’s obsession for meetings is a worldwide trend, but, given the existence of this website I’m about to show, so his the hatred for unnecessary (the majority) meetings.

Catherine S sent in this absolute beauty:

So I filled in the details of a typical waste-of-time-are-you-really-this-bored meeting that gets thrown around this town. Meetings that a lot of us are forced into, when we’re trying desperately hard to live the holiday – something that is possible with a email/sms existence, instead of a tiresome world of random meetings and unexpected phonecalls.

So what you do is you send people to the website, following their request for a pointless meeting which could easily be dealt with on email.

I filled in the results, including the number and type of employees that will be attending, just to test.

Here’s the vibe I went for:

The I clicked the red button at the bottom, to get the meeting results.

Using the ever-filling database that the website is accumulating, it is able to give you a result, showing how much money will be wasted on the meeting, should it ever come to fruition.
