The Marathon Meeting

You know what I'm talking about. They start at some ridiculous hour of the morning, last all day, and lose any sense of value or productivity after the first hour. The marathon meeting is by far the worst invention of modern commercial enterprise because it sucks the life of out participants, decreases productivity, and stifles creativity.

At the end of the day, if the best your people can do to stay awake after a six hour marathon meeting is crack jokes that only make sense to the delirious or clinically insane, you might want to reconsider the value of the meetings.
