Meetings can sometimes suck — and that’s a fact.
As many as 70% of employees think that their job satisfaction would improve if they attended fewer meetings.
Unfortunately, some projections indicate that the overall number of meetings is set to rise by 34% by 2027.
So, it looks like the best we can do is cope with the torture the same way we cope with everything else — through humor!
With that in mind, we hope you’ll enjoy the meeting memes we’ve compiled.
- Meeting memes are a great way to blow off some steam with your coworkers, especially since the number of meetings we’ll be forced to attend is set to rise by 34% by 2027.
- Try starting a dedicated meme-sharing channel in the employee communication app your company uses — but be sure to ask your manager if you’re allowed to do so first.
- The business messaging app, Pumble, can help you set up meetings even with external guests, as well as share any pertinent documents with other meeting attendees.
