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.
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.
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”
