I wondered why the meetings were so bad.

And then I visited our supplier.

They are using a Beats pill speaker, connected to a cell phone, and Skype for Business.

And they have to pass the phone around when it's each person's turn to talk.

the only good thing about working in live entertainment is most ppl know theatre etiquette so if theyre late they know to just sneak in when appropriate.
