What a meeting really costs
A recurring meeting is a standing salary expense no one approved. The Meeting Cost Calculator prices every one — attendees × (salary ÷ 2,080 hrs) × length × yearly frequency — so a single weekly 9-person standup surfaces as ~$19,700 a year, and you see exactly how much is flagged to trim or kill.
