Hatching a Conspiracy



Colleague: Work’s a drag. Lots of meetings (useless, of course). Sometimes, I wonder if all these processes that we talk about at meetings - over and over again - would have been affected if one didn't attend those meetings!

Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. It’s crazy at the office… No direction… No motivation… Lots of bitching… The same old story, huh?!!

AM: Let me share a closely-guarded secret with you… You might have figured it out by now, if you are as intelligent as you look... Meetings are a conspiracy ‘hatched’ (pun certainly intended) by Subtle Pastimes Association of Senior Management, SPASM. They were never meant to serve any purpose... Meetings are merely a social activity - to break the monotony of peering into computer screens by gazing at colleagues instead.

Unlike most marketing professionals (who often have bright and attractive images to look at), lesser mortals usually have to peer at plain text. The absolute scum of the world are forced to peer at numbers, instead of what they would have preferred to gaze at – figures..! To think that the entire menagerie gets paid handsomely for all this intense peering and gazing is part of the conspiracy.

See ya… I need to locate another company that has computer screens that need peering into… Peer pressure, you understand…?
