  Yeah it happens a lot. 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.

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

  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

    They are giving negative time back.

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

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

    I’d cut my ears off.

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

      I’m glad to hear it.

  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.
