I remember a meeting at my job where the boss started it with, “All right. The decision’s already been made. I just want to know your opinions about it.”
To which I replied, “Why are we here, then? If our opinions made no difference, wouldn’t this meeting be a colossal waste of time?”
Pissed him off big time, but I was the hero of that room that day.
I remember a meeting where I was asked point blank "Why are you working on this right now???"
"Because I am in this meeting. [pause] Sir."
Earned a glare and a curt "Dismissed."
I think I was the hero of that room that day...
