We stick to that format with minor variations:

  1. Update on everyone’s pets’ health
  2. Update on peoples’ kids’ behaviour
  3. Update on team members’ health and their families
  4. Miscellaneous gripes
  5. All the sports: what happened, what people think will happen, and details of particular players
  6. Mutual accusations of breaking things
  7. Defence against said accusations
  8. Gripes about boss’s emails
  9. Long, in-depth accounts from two team members of their last day’s work, minute by minute, with digressions into big-picture frustrations and grumbles about management, customers, etc.
  10. Recounting of the history of these issues over the last 15 years or so.
  11. Each person tells us that they’re working on the thing the kanban board says they’re working on, and that it will take them as long as it says on the board.
  12. Holiday plans or accounts of past holidays
  13. Goodbye
  14. One guy jumps in with a 15-minute anecdote about taking his dog to the vet
  15. Goodbye
  16. Any further anecdotes
  17. Goodbye.

Its supposed to take 10-15 minutes but it takes up to an hour, sometimes more. I usually tune in late and sometimes pretend I lost my internet connection halfway through.
