About
Bored Meeting is a small collection of tools and guides for the meetings that didn't need to happen — buzzword bingo, a cost calculator that quantifies the pain, a jargon translator, and a handful of guides written for the people sitting in the meeting rather than the one running it.
What's here
Five guides, each pairing something you can play with something worth reading:
- Corporate Speak — a glossary of roughly fifty phrases, separating the ones that are useful shorthand from the ones built to be unfalsifiable.
- What Meetings Actually Cost — the arithmetic done properly, including the three costs the obvious calculation misses.
- Games to Play in a Meeting — three of them, plus the etiquette of not getting caught.
- How to Get Out of a Meeting — declining well, leaving early, and judging whether it needed to exist.
- What Kind of Meeting Person Are You? — eight archetypes and what each one gets right.
How it works
Everything runs entirely in your browser. There is no account, no login, and nothing you type into a calculator or a bingo card is transmitted anywhere — the calculations happen on your device and stay there. The site is static: no database, no user profiles, nothing to breach.
Who makes it
Bored Meeting is an independent site, written and maintained by one person rather than a company. It is funded by advertising, which is why you will see ads; there are no affiliate links in the guides and no product is recommended in exchange for payment.
Corrections are welcome and acted on — if something here is wrong, say so.
