One tech company is trying to help its employees kick off the new year with a clean slate, or at least an emptier calendar.

In a memo to employees Tuesday, Shopify said it would do away with all previously scheduled recurring meetings involving three or more people and impose a "two-week cooling off period" before any of those meetings can be added back on to calendars.

The moves, which Nejatian described as a "useful subtraction," are intended to help free up employee time and comes after many companies have experienced ain the number of meetings during the pandemic. As part of its announcement, Shopify said it will delete nearly 10,000 events from employee calendars, thereby clearing up over 76,500 hours.
