Silicon Valley Startup Replaces All Meetings With Interpretive Mime
Productivity reportedly up 300% since implementing 'No Zoom' policy
PALO ALTO - Disruptive productivity platform MuteWork has abolished verbal communication in favor of professional mime performances to convey quarterly metrics and project updates. Employees receive daily briefings through invisible box manipulation and rope-pulling pantomime, with Slack statuses replaced by Marcel Marceau-inspired emojis. 'Our ARR growth trajectory is clearly expressed through this ladder-climbing sequence,' demonstrated CEO Brad Chilton while trapped in an imaginary windstorm during earnings projections. Early adopters report dramatic reductions in meeting fatigue, though some confusion persists regarding mime-depicted PIP procedures. The company plans to open-source their silent standup framework, provided users complete a 6-week walking-against-the-wind certification.
