An all-hands conference call conceived in the inner-most circle of hell. Made immeasurably better if, after the period of joinder, the chairperson kicks it off with a twenty-five-minute-long roll call, and untoppable if, after that, she reads out a pre-prepared script warning of the dangers of anti-competitive behaviour.
