People, and particularly the woefully ignorant, generally only listen to what you tell them if it costs them something in some way, particularly if it's your boss and the thing being costed is their own money. Thankfully, there's nothing to teach common sense quite like the wasted money of a stalled production line with a bunch of workers standing around waiting to be told what to do by their boss who is stuck in a pointless morning stand-up meeting.
In this story posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance by Redditor u/Markbmann, we see exactly why the above is generally a good idea — when a new manager at OP's girlfriend's work came in and instituted a first-thing morning meeting, her concerns that it wouldn't allow her to get the day's tasks started to keep other employees productive on time weren't heard. Sure enough, the first early morning meeting showed exactly why she had this concern — everyone else at the company working on the lines was waiting on her.
