Thread: Have you ever ended up in a meeting or presentation

    Yes. to tell an entire business unit of about 200 people that the Company was (proposing) to shut it down. It did.

    My colleague at that site went off sick that day. Bottleless ****.

    That was a fairly tough gig with about 1 hours driving time for prep.

    Pretty much all the time. The fun bit is then having to write competently and knowledgeably about that subject for the public consumption of an audience of people who actually know far more about it than me.

    I once had to edit a supplement on stem cell technology with the Wellcome Trust - the meeting for it was blast, made even better by a mental block which made me say stell cem instead of stem cell. One of the pieces was actually quoted in a parliamentary debate so it can't have been too bad
