We’ve all sat through those painful meetings that never seem to end. The ones where too many people are invited, everyone has an opinion, and you leave the meeting wondering what was actually accomplished. The majority of people would agree that most meetings are inefficient, and the time allocated to sitting helplessly at the board room table could have been spent doing something productive.

The folks over at the recent start-up Vaporware Labs took it one step further, making an interactive Web site www.meetordie.com that allows you to calculate the cost of these wasteful meetings.

Although one could argue that some meetings are necessary and a normal function of any company, it is still fun to calculate the dollars wasted. After plugging in your company name, length of meeting, and the attendees, the site will spit out the meeting cost. Simple, yet addicting. Click here to analyze your next meeting.

After you input the meeting criteria, click the results button to see how costly these meetings can be.

Although this won’t score you points with Human Resources, it will help you get to 5 o’clock just a little faster.
