Company Bans Meetings, Makes Employees PowerPoint Everything
TechBrains Corp decided meetings were inefficient, so now 47 people PowerPoint their thoughts instead.

When TechBrains Corp CEO announced "no more meetings," employees cheered. Then they learned the policy: everything had to be communicated via PowerPoint.
Need to ask someone something? Make a presentation. Have feedback? 12 slides explaining your thoughts. Want to discuss the weather? Better have compelling visuals.

Corporate culture in 2026 was obsessed with "optimization." TechBrains took that obsession to its conclusion.
