Of course you’re right. Folks are also encouraged to such shenanigans by
company stupidity, like all-hands meetings that start 10 minutes late, or long,
content-free all-company emails. I tend to sit there going “Let’ see, n,000
people x 10 minutes = y man-days wasted…” In a decent-sized company, you get to
a man-year pretty fast. For the folks who don’t love their jobs (which some of
us are lucky enough to do), this makes it easy and justified to waste a bit of
time on their own…
