The Law of Meeting Multiplication – Empty calendars are meeting magnets.
John skimmed it, blinked twice, and accepted the invite.
Johnny filed it under Administrative Irony — Volume 12 and noted in bold- In cultures where time is currency, spending it is status.
More from The Footnote:
- One “quick catch-up” spawned a weekly ritual of repetition.
- Another became a “standing meeting” because no one dared end it.
- Agendas were optional, attendance wasn’t.
- Silence was treated as consent — or attendance credit.
John once declined a meeting.
The Boss asked if he was “disengaged.” Mr. Bully said, “We value collaboration.”
The invite returned, upgraded to mandatory.
Johnny noted the pattern:
Absence invites suspicion, not efficiency.

Disclaimer: The Footnote is a satire — an observation, not an accusation. If it feels uncomfortably accurate, that’s just coincidence. You’re simply not important enough to be targeted.
