App idea: a tool that displays a live "salary clock" showing how much was spent during a meeting.
Good for ditching useless meetings and contextualizing non-personnel spend

A couple of meetings ago we accidentally used Zoom free-version, and had a 40min "countdown timer" appear on the screen. It was... strangely motivating. A feature, even.

I guess the academic version of this shows how much grant money is being spent. I imagine it would surprise ~everyone except particularly conscientious PIs.
Or if you're feeling especially impish, the amortized hourly wage assuming everyone was paid like an L3 new grad at Google, as a lower bound on the opportunity cost. 😈

Haha, I don't know if grant money is the relevant finite resource here though. Maybe like "grad student time/sanity/flow"
