- 3rd3 13y agoWhat would be the effect of it?
- DanBC 13y agoMake people realise that many meetings are pointless and very very expensive?
- kbar13 13y agoto keep aware of how long meetings affect productivity in $ sense for business/management-minded people, I would assume.
- discreditable 13y agoDiscourage long, pointless meetings I imagine.
- OzzyB 13y agoHa! I had this exact same idea when I was sitting in one too many meetings. It was more an idea for the "snark" category though.
- andrewtbham 13y agoso if you want to know how much someone makes, schedule a one on one meeting.
- sambeau 13y agoI confess, I'm one of those people who believes all salaries should be public within a company—compensation should be based on real worth rather than negotiation skill. That said, for it to work properly, the staff would need to watching the clock too so it couldn't just be a managerial thing. All staff would need to at least know the wage bands of each other's salaries.

- tprzepiorka 13y agoMy basic Windows 8 (and WP) app, Meeting Money, does this. http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/app/meeting-money/83826295-331c-45f2-8a0a-bddfb900510d http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/app/meeting-money/83826295...
- flomo 13y agoRelated to this, a cost estimator for adding a cc: to an email. Some people might think twice if they knew what their mail really cost the company.
- hnrc 13y agoI set off to build a simple web version of this today, http://meetingcost.io http://meetingcost.io
- curlyreggie 13y agoGood Idea. But I'd say it should be the other way around. Focussing on developers (the lower salary cream), higher the developers in the meeting, greater the loss. (Higher people are busy in meetings throughout anyway..)
