Burn Counter
Watch your meeting costs in real-time. Because what gets measured gets managed.
A Chrome extension that tracks the cost of your meetings in real-time without the discomfort of wage disclosure. We believe informed teams make better decisions about how they spend time together.
The meeting cost problem
The average employee spends over 11 hours per week in meetings—managers average 13 hours, executives 12. Research shows meeting time costs ~$25,000 per employee annually.
Most of that cost is invisible. Burn Counter makes it visible.
How it works
