1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, it's time for Josey and mans.

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: Cut room floor. What's on the sweeping floors? Get the

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: dust pan up? What have you got there?

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 3: I've been reading a survey that says, and it's stuff

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: we probably know, but it's been officially decreed the workers

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 3: are wasting time in meetings that could really be emails.

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 3: At Lassian, which is well the guys that runted last

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 3: in Australia's richest men. Really They've done a big survey.

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: They looked at five thousand knowledge workers across Australia, the US, India,

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: Germany and France, as well as one hundred executives from

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: Fortune five hundred companies, and they have estimated that twenty

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: five billion hours of work each year is lost due

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: to inefficient.

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 4: Old world practices.

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 3: Old world practices meaning old fashioned meetings that could be

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: done by email. Yeah, you're not a fan of a

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: meet We don't go to many meetings here.

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: They tried to get us, got lots of meetings in the.

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: Early days when we were starting out. Well, yeah, rookies,

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: and we were rookies.

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: You have to go to all these meetings and eventually

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 3: you say, look, how about you will get up at

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: the time, we do and see how you feel it

24
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: two people.

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: A lot of the meetings we go there, we had

26
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: one boss and he'd ask everyone about their weekend.

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 4: And that wasn't him being polite, that was him trying

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: to bond us.

29
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 2: All yeah, but it didn't work because what invariably would happen,

30
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: everything got pushed back and everyone got grumpy.

31
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: And then people started making up elaborate things for the weekend.

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I went to I summoned the north face of

33
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: Everest on the weekend.

34
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: That's what I'll be doing.

35
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, And he fell for that once, Brendan.

36
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: He summered many faces at the Christmas party.

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: But interestingly, as we moved to a more online world

38
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: and listen to these numbers, on average, businesses will spend

39
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: three hundred will send in this year alone three hundred

40
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: and sixty one billion emails every single day.

41
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Wow.

42
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: And that number is going to go up by twenty

43
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: twenty seven to over four hundred billion emails a day.

44
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: Many who is in my work inbox that I have

45
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: never checked? Amazing? Over half the Wall's population uses email now.

46
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: But if we're going to just not have face to

47
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: face meetings, are there ramifications for that because with a

48
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: lot of people who started working from home during COVID,

49
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: people don't want to come back into the office, and

50
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: businesses are trying to get them to come back into

51
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: it because the face to face stuff gives you not

52
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: just a work culture, but it gives you the serendipitous

53
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: nature of creativity. You're talking to someone while you're in

54
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: a lunch room. We don't do that stuff anymore. If

55
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: you're talking to someone in the lunchroom, you're going and

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: get a coffee with someone and you say, what are

57
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: you working on?

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 4: What part of the business?

59
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: But you know, this is where ideas come from, and

60
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: we've taken that away from our workplaces. Now it's become

61
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: technology and task driven as opposed to human driven.

62
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: You just want a healthy balance.

63
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: Remember there was a time when a woman used to

64
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: bring a dog into the building all the time.

65
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: And then just distract, differ.

66
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: If you bring a dog in, then that's pretty much

67
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: twenty minutes gone.

68
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Oh it's dog. Dog is what sort of dog is it?

69
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: And then no workers getting.

70
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 4: What about the birthday cake?

71
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: I got a birthday cake. You know that is the

72
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: biggest goof off in the history of the world.

73
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: And sign the car, sign the cart.

74
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: Then you've got to go and get the cake.

75
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: Then you've got to gather everyone around together so they

76
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: can work.

77
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: Come off there and sing a song for the cake.

78
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: My sister was telling a story.

79
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: She was on maternity leave and she always had time

80
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: to kill, and.

81
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 4: So she was working in the office.

82
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: She was wearing the office. So usually she's a pilot,

83
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: she ls the plane because she had the baby.

84
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: They don't, you know, let pregnant women fly planes. Possibly

85
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: a wise thing. So what happened was she thought to

86
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: kill some time. She found out everyone's birthdays and then

87
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: organized an elaborate cake because she said, you would literally

88
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: kill forty five minutes the every second day, getting of

89
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: the cake, gathering people together, the speech, then get some plates, plates,

90
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: cleaning up the cake, all that sort of stuff.

91
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: Then when her birthday came around, absolutely nothing. She's the

92
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: only woman an office of me, Henny Penny.

93
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: I'll buy the cake, I'll eat the cake, but I won't.

94
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: Buy the cake.

95
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: A little red hen who was Henny Penny?

96
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Anny Penny was the one that worried about that. I

97
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: was chicken Little Who's Henny Penny? The chicken franchise got

98
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: taken over by a big rooster.

99
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 4: All I feel like now is eating chicken and cake.

100
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: I could go, I could go a three piece feet.

101
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 4: Let's have a meeting in discribe.

102
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: Let's have a meeting. Everyone gathering. Oh, kid, kids, that's

103
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: for today. That was Johnson and I'm just cutting. I'll

104
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: come back tomorrow some more.
