"Hey, do you have a minute to chat?"

"Hey, how are you? How was your weekend?"

If your anxiety just skyrocketed or you feel triggered, we get it. That's why Episode 26 is all about the bane of our corporate existence: meetings.

Listen. The chaos and exhaustion of (mostly pointless) meetings can turn even the most on-it Type A into a burnt out mess. How are you supposed to get any work done when you're in meetings all the time?

So, come fill your BINGO card over here with us! We've got co-workers who never mute, late-evening surprise 1-on-1s, idle chit-chat, and excessive PowerPoint users who use corporate jargon no one understands.

After sharing a few coping mechanisms for long meetings—like crocheting during calls or playing solitaire—we want to remind you of the sweet, sweet relief that comes if you just...turn your off camera.
