Karen Lopez ππ©βπ»πAttending a 2-hour meeting where Iβm only allowed to speak if someone asks me a question.
This is super painful for me as I listen to discussions where I know the facts are off and the history of the system is being mis-described.
Aaarrrggh.
@DataChick Seems like a good opportunity to not attend the meeting at all
@randolph I agreed to do this as a test. I just had to listen to the people in the meeting mock our group. I almost logged out.
@DataChick Oof. Double oof.
@randolph holy shit. Didnβt say anything. But the meeting leader just declare that our meeting should be correction-free. No one should be allowed to correct facts.
Larry Anderson ποΈ@DataChick @randolph Jesus, what kind of cult meeting are you in?
@DataChick @randolph Good God, what a mess.
@larand @DataChick Karenβs full of these tales of Threatened Menβ’
@randolph @DataChick I hate it when insecure frightened children pose as actual adults.
@larand @DataChick Youβll hate IT then
@randolph @DataChick I already do.

Digital Mark Ξ» βοΈ πΉ π½@DataChick @larand @randolph Can you start holding up a sign indicating bullshit levels? Like a pledge drive thermometer, but at 100% nobody wins anything ever.
Paul Pop Jr@DataChick @randolph is this a congressional meeting?
Thomas@DataChick @randolph If people don't want to be corrected, perhaps they should get the information correct in the first place. That is beyond ridiculous and helps no one. Just propagates the wrong information. Yikes.
Stuart Watt@randolph @trz @DataChick My experience has been that in many/most (primarily large) organizations, meetings often arenβt about information at all. Theyβre about power, and about identity.
Sheri D-H@DataChick @randolph wait, what? They arenβt facts if they (a) arenβt true or (b) are opinions.
Theodora LauThat's torture!!
Joseph A di Paolantonio@psb_dc @DataChick @randolph wow! Thatβs nasty. Was there any purpose to the meeting, such as a basis for training or at least writing an explanatory report?
