Horrible Manager Calls All Staff Meeting, Doesn't Show Up, Claims it Was a Test of Loyalty

I don't know if y'all have noticed, but as an adult, you have to go to a lot of meetings. It's very rare that you will contribute to this meeting meaningfully, nor will you learn any important information from it. And yet, the meeting sucks up a chunk of your time that you could've spent actually getting some work done.

I'm lucky that I don't have a job that only consists of attending meetings, but I know people who do, and it sounds miserable. While most meetings could be emails, bosses and managers usually don't set meetings up to be vindictive. They genuinely think that the meeting will help their employees. One boss didn't get the memo that meetings are at least supposed to seem like they're meant for something. Instead, he invited all of his employees to a meeting, didn't show up, and waited to see if any of them would "step up to the plate" and lead the meeting.
