Rant

The rumour goes that, with meetings with the highest staff, attendees lay their tokens (to enter the building) on the table in case they get fired and have to leave that very moment.

I once had to attend such a meeting as a simple application engineer. They had heard I could "do stuff with SharePoint".

The part about the tokens was a myth but that people get fired right away was not! One did get fired! I shit bricks back then. Especially when I got asked something very ridiculous and impossible... how would I say no?

Luckily I came up with an alternative.

But Damn. .. glad I left that place
