Meeting: Difference between revisions

“Important” ones are often stewarded by a functionary from the [[COO]] office who gets to watch the the grisly proceedings up close, occasionally twisting the knife or going [[crazy Ivan]] with an “innocent” question<ref>{{maxim|On a conference call, there are no innocent questions}}. There are stupid questions and trick questions.</ref> Although nominally no more than a court clerk, such a person can skew their role to resemble on of the master’s attack dogs. Depending on the disposition of that [[chairperson|person chairing the meeting]], it can therefore be quite the cat-bird seat: rather like walking around the rim of a volcano in one of those big silver spaceman suits watching everyone else in tee-shirts and flip-flops hopping about trying to dodge flying magma.
