Yeah it happens a lot (well with at least 10 mins more). At my job people are given 40 hours (or more, without overtime) of work to be done, and then call meetings that eat up into those hours, so ending early gives people back the time the meeting took away from them.
I hear it at the end of almost every single meeting and it’s typically for less than five minutes. I’ve had people get near the end of a meeting, extend it by half an hour, but only go 15min over, and then still say they’re giving us time back
lol do office job meetings actually tell you that because that’s hilarious

Naw. Naw man. Shit naw man I believe you’d get your ass kicked for saying something like that man.
Nope, it’s a real thing. Granted, I mostly see it used when a meeting ends 30-40 minutes early.
It’s a quote from Office Space.
Ahhh, ok. Never seen it, I’m afraid.
Woosh

They are giving negative time back.
Yeah, although I appreciate those minutes because my dailies overlap with the time interval my body decides is time to take a shit
Yes
I’ve been told I’ve been given “the gift of time”
Edit: This is how I read your comment: https://youtu.be/guv5LUT1AFw
I am a dumbass trades guy so I definitely sound like that a lot to office guys lol
Honestly there’s so much dumb shit like that I wish I could say
I hear it daily.
I’d cut my ears off.
Sometimes I get a 1 hour meeting ending in 20 min.
I’m glad to hear it.
Eh, I hear it a lot at my job. But that’s because meetings usually go way longer than they should. So anytime it ends early people are quite pleased.
In my experience it’s usually when the meeting ends like 30 minutes before it’s scheduled to.
Boss does it regularly
Yeah… I do hear it a lot.
