démissionnions

The term "démissionnions" is a French neologism, a portmanteau word formed by combining "démission" (resignation) and "réunions" (meetings). It refers to the act of resigning from a position, often one involving frequent or lengthy meetings, with a sense of relief or liberation from the perceived burden of those meetings. The term is informal and humorous, often used in online discussions or casual conversation to express a desire to leave a job primarily due to the overwhelming number of meetings involved.

The concept highlights a common workplace frustration: excessive or unproductive meetings that consume significant time and energy, detracting from actual work. "Démissionnions" captures the feeling of wanting to escape this meeting-centric culture. It is not a formal term with a legal or official definition, but rather a colloquial expression that resonates with many professionals experiencing meeting fatigue. The word's playful nature belies a genuine sentiment about work-life balance and the efficiency of workplace communication. Its usage is primarily confined to French-speaking contexts where the linguistic blend feels natural and expressive.
