Wandering Adventure Party

@maxleibman I don't know if you remember but back in the day when Japan was this Eastern economical miracle, the West wanted to copy everything they did. One thing was these 15 min stand up meetings where people would actually be standing up. Now that I think about it, I guess the real lesson was that it forced meetings to be short with as few people as possible. Unsurprisingly we learned the wrong lessons and now have 1 hour "stand ups" with 30 people.

@albertcardona I think you're on to something. In professions where people are promoted into management from jobs with more concrete outcomes (lines of code for developers or tables for carpenters) people tend to receive no training on how to be a manager and they have to work it out for themselves. Lord knows it took me years to figure it out, so maybe I should have some empathy for those a little behind me.

When organising meetings at work I try to keep the circle small, only inviting people who can actually contribute to the project.

Too many people go the other way and, seemingly, want to invite half the organisation to their irrelevant little meeting. Why is that?

A parent who was worried about their daughter mixing with trans children sued the Girls Guides which is why the organisation no longer accepts trans kids.

A baker went to court because they did not want to make a cake for a gay couple.

You know what? I wish the media would stop tolerating this lie. No, it's not "a parent" or "a baker". It's well-funded lobby groups who scour the press looking for an individual use as a puppet for a fight they want to have.

PS: This is also true of Rosa Parks
