Clearly it needs the following 3 things:
1. It needs a fake calendar that is randomly populated with meetings.
2. It needs to randomly require that you open Google Hangouts and chat with other users.
3. It needs to send random Slack notifications.
- majewsky 9y ago> 1. It needs a fake calendar that is randomly populated with meetings. While we're on this, can everyone please post their favorite ridiculous meeting title that is really real? I'll start with a recurring meeting series from last year that was called "mid-sprint calibration".
- patmcguire 9y agoGoogle has a weekly meeting called TGIF every Thursday.

- lmkg 9y agoRecurring weekly appointment "Hunt for Breakfast" (We eventually found out Hunt was a person's name).
- smnrchrds 9y agoIt still doesn't make sense. Unless you were having Hunt for breakfast.
- chrishepner 9y ago- Leadership Content Ideation - Monthly Numbers Meeting
- nneonneo 9y ago"Site visit, cum lunch".
- neilsimp1 9y agoDo you work at Pornhub?
- nneonneo 9y agoHa, no. It should have been "Site visit-cum-lunch", i.e. a visit that is also a lunch, but someone didn't quite enter it correctly...
- spiznnx 9y agoNow that "w/" is well understood there is no reason to ever use "cum", except maybe in phrases that are entirely Latin.
- Toenex 9y ago'cum louder' was once spotted on a CV under the education section. Damn that spell checker... I hope.
- solarkraft 9y agoHey, they make educational videos.

- ed_cr 9y agoha ha yes random calendar items
- QuantumGravy 9y ago> 1. It needs a fake calendar that is randomly populated with meetings. Not enough to compete with the real deal. Has to have multiple team calendars, so it can support conflicting mandatory meetings so people can bitch at you on Google Hangouts and Slack afterward for missing the ones you didn't attend, even though you'd told everyone in advance that you couldn't make it.
- jff 9y agoDon't forget the same meeting populated 2-3 times because somebody set up a recurring meeting invite and then made a new one and the old one never really deleted properly so you've now got the same meeting twice from 2:30-3:30 every Thursday.
- SamBam 9y agoMaybe I quit before I got to this, but I would add: 4. Time-sensitive pop-ups: things that force you to act NOW instead of ignoring them.
- GFischer 9y agoYep, you did quit too early. That's a thing in the game.
