This Meeting Could’ve Been an Email (And Everyone Knows It)

You join the meeting.

Camera off.  
Mic muted.  
Already wondering why you’re here.

It starts late.

Someone shares their screen.  
Talks in circles.  
Repeats what was already said… yesterday.

You check the time.

5 minutes in.  
Feels like 25.

You didn’t need to be here.

No one really did.

This could’ve been an email.  
A short one.  
Two lines max.

Instead, it’s another block in your day.  
Another drain on your energy.

Another meeting about having meetings.

And somehow…

there’s a follow-up meeting.

If this feels familiar… you’re not the only one.

This meeting could’ve been an email.

And you deserve a mug that says it for you.
