    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

    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.

    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.

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

  I don’t get the point of this tweet honestly

    It’s probably only relatable if you have a corporate job.

      No no, it’s just that I don’t understand what’s she getting at - is she complaining that it’s bad that the meeting ended 4 minutes earlier than planned and it may as well take the full time? Like yeah, but why would it?

      Or is she complaining that it was only 4 minutes and not like 20 (cause she wanted time for hobbies) - but in this case, just leave this job and become a travelling merchant or some shit

    I think they hope it’s satire.

      It obviously is, it’s just that a joke needs to make some elementary sense in order to be funny

  Worst part is it works with and without sarcasm. Get 5 mins into that hobby before you have to get back to the grind.
