I once worked in an office, as the web guy. They wanted to post something on their page, called a meeting, required me to attend.... because I was going to have to post it for them...I sat there for 40 minutes while they literally had a discussion of the political correctness of the use of the word 'it' that was in their posting.... ironically...they never had me post it.... But then I should not be surprised, this office also had a meeting to decide what they were going to address in the next meeting.... nothing like a room full of PhD government employees to come up with self-important sounding ideas for useless meetings that are complete wastes of time
The planning meeting which is the meeting to plan a meeting is well-known in large corporations as well.
