green meeting
A convening of regularly scheduled work meeting where no new business appears on the agenda. A recapitulation of old business is recycled for the purposes of 1.) the perception that progress is being made 2.) being a sounding board for the boss 3.) avoiding the addition of a new meeting with new responsibilities into the original meeting time slot. In short, a waste of valuable time.
Co-worker A: How was your meeting?
Co-worker B: We discussed nothing new and no progress has been made. It was a green meeting.
