Evils of Corporate Life - Part 4

The Town Hall. New year, new org, new meetings. I've had more Town Halls with senior leaders in the last few weeks than I can stand. My VP, her VP, his SVP and the CIO. sheesh. Now, there was some good tidbits of information, but has anyone calculated the $$ paid for the employees to be in these 1.5 - 2 hour meetings? And why is it the Directors don't have "Town Halls" but rather "Staff Meetings" or "Team Meetings?" Guess they're not high enough on the executive pole yet.....

It's like a rock concert, only they pay YOU, because they know the music sucks.
