Having not worked in a large corporate environment in a couple of years now, and thus having not seen every type of meeting and organizational process under the sun prefixed with "pre" in quite a while, this title gave me a bit of a flashback to that time.
I'd forgotten how emblematic "pre"-prefixed meetings are of larger organizations that have meetings to plan for other meetings, e.g. "Pre-planning", "Pre-OKR brainstorm".
Seeing pre-meetings always reminds me of a scene in Office Space where "The Bobs" are seen [1.] in front of a whiteboard that clearly reads "Planning to Plan". It's a subtle visual of the movie's central theme of poking fun at corporate culture.
It's been a real treat being in an environment where we don't plan to plan, or have such a vague concept of our meetings that they're best described as a "syncs".
