I think anyone who works for a big company, or at least most who do, will have experienced going to meetings that should’ve been e-mails?
Some of those probably shouldn’t have even been that. Like, for instance, yesterday’s all-departments show-and-tell meeting, where literally no departments had anything new to show.
Hey now. Shooting the shit is how we test our mics before the meeting. If you can’t make the pre-meeting, then suffer and never know whether your mic is shit.
