Agenda? Minutes? I've heard tell of such a thing, but I've yet to meet a manager that actually performs these arcane acts. I've gotten very used to walking into meetings with no more idea of what's going to happen than I can glean from the participants list and the subject on the calendar item...

Oh, cool, we must work together.

I pushed my team hard to get some discipline around meeting agendas. It lasted for a week or two. I threatened to stop attending meetings otherwise. My Director told me to knock it off. So, the signal is clear, right? We're all just fucking around and playing pretend at being professionals.
