Sometimes I get a 1 hour meeting ending in 20 min.

I'm glad to hear it.

Boss does it regularly

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Yeah, although I appreciate those minutes because my dailies overlap with the time interval my body decides is time to take a shit

I hear it at the end of almost every single meeting and it's typically for less than five minutes. I've had people get near the end of a meeting, extend it by half an hour, but only go 15min over, and then still say they're giving us time back

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

They are giving negative time back.

Eh, I hear it a lot at my job. But that’s because meetings usually go way longer than they should. So anytime it ends early people are quite pleased.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah.. I do hear it a lot.

Yeah it happens a lot (well with at least 10 mins more). At my job people are given 40 hours (or more, without overtime) of work to be done, and then call meetings that eat up into those hours, so ending early gives people back the time the meeting took away from them.

Naw. Naw man. Shit naw man I believe you’d get your ass kicked for saying something like that man.

Nope, it's a real thing. Granted, I mostly see it used when a meeting ends 30-40 minutes early.

It’s a quote from Office Space.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Ahhh, ok. Never seen it, I'm afraid.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

In my experience it's usually when the meeting ends like 30 minutes before it's scheduled to.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yes

I’ve been told I’ve been given “the gift of time”
