English term or phrase: back-to-back-to-back meetings
For example, the typical weekly management team meeting can cost a work group $390 each time it assembles —or more than $20,000 a year —assuming that the group consists of five members averaging $70,000 a year in salary and that the meetings last about two hours.
Add to that dollar amount the toll taken by the accumulated stress and discontent of staffers who return from back-to-back-to-back meetings to an avalanche of messages and a deferred to-do list that grows by the day.
