Verbal Diarrhoea : Meetings – The Root of all Corporate Evil?

Are they justified? Sometimes they get so long and painful we often wonder, Why am I here and how did things get to this sorry state.

We play this corporate dance as we discuss (dance around) the subject in question with no resolution in sight. The irony at this situation is, we all know what needs to be done but no one wants to be the Hero or the 'Leader' to take the Stand and set the direction so we continue to dance.

Is that what we are paid to do; Dance? Well yes I guess if we can sufficiently justify it. Basically. In the corporate world, we can do anything we want to, if we can justify it. As long as there is a basis for it, there is no harm in doing it.

I wonder what sort of atrocities has been committed in the name of profit or making ones stock/share price go up. Look at the tobacco industry, the automotive industry. Did you know that Vehicle recalls are sanctioned only when the cost of recall is lower than the cost of vehicle owner/s suing the automaker for the defect? And don’t get me started on the tobacco industry.

Shouldn't this sort of behaviors be outlawed? Of course it should be but, how can you prove it in a court of law that such behaviour was conducted with the consequences in mind and that these actions were pre-meditated. Impossible.
