Keep all meetings to 30-45 minutes.

Spend last five minutes of every meeting recapping

Post meeting rules in all conference rooms

Keep all emails to 200 words or less

And this is only the beginning

How about having a manageable workload? My emails are to the point because I’m already loaded down with so much c-ap I have to get done. This was a really insulting policy.

My workload is not going away because you tell me to shorten emails or just stop doing the administrative part of my job. Jackass.

How about attendees should not ask the meeting presenter to repeat information that was missed while they were playing with their phone.

Shouldn't he have limited his email to 200 words or less? It was quite long.

How about the CTO scheduling a meeting for 400+ people at 6am CST and canceling the meeting 2 minutes before at 5:58am? Completely no respect for anyone's personal time.

This gave me a good laugh this morning. What kind of CEO has time for stuff like this?

This is probably just so he can say that he is not only looking to outsource jobs.

How about letting people be adults and use their own judgment regarding emails and meetings? Sure, we could use fewer and less of both. But jeez. Ramon is a bureaucrat, not a leader.

What about PowerPoint decks ? Are they still allowed to be 200 pages of crp ? A lot of careers at HQ depend on creating massive and completely useless PowerPoints to justify their existence and big six figure salaries .
