Karen Lopez 🌎👩💻🔒Attending a 2-hour meeting where I’m 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.
@randolph holy shit. Didn’t say anything. But the meeting leader just declare that our meeting should be correction-free. No one should be allowed to correct facts.
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 aren’t about information at all. They’re about power, and about identity.
