With tens of thousands in a meeting, cracking a 30-second stupid joke is probably costing several thousand dollars.

Right, but if you say something essential in a meeting with 10 people and it has to percolate through five levels of management to reach the front-lines and gets watered down, that could be much more lost, even millions.

Scale cuts both ways.

What matters isn't how big the meeting is, it's how important the material is, and how well presented it is.

It's worth 10x that because they are all AI powered super devs now /sarc

If you assume everyone is making 100k it only takes 20 people in a meeting for it to cost 1k.

Wasn't it Shopify who had a system for tracking how much each meeting cost based on attendees? I may be misremembering the company though

i think closer to tens-of-thousands-of-dollars, by my napkin math!

Worth it!
