      I strongly believe it.

      Our customer service (CS) department has a HQ in a red state, they manage all the Customer Service nationwide. They report to my boss and have these “huddle” meetings where the CS managers (of which there are at least 30+ people) share ideas. Other department leads/managers can join. I used to sit in as a engineer manager, so I can under understand problems from customers. But now I sit in to eat popcorn.

      The CS leads are definitely conservatives. And These huddles are full of really stupid takes.

      One of the takes was where someone recommended training resources and another mockingly said, “Read a book? What do you think this is, a school?”

        idiot corporate managers who insist on the word ‘huddle’ instead of ‘meeting’. Ugh.

            Remember to stand still facing windows and walls, walk/stand under heavy but precariously-placed objects, things like that ^.^
