A few years ago I was in a team and one of our coworkers was (perhaps due to sexism) continually stuck with charliework like keeping notes of meetings with clients. She eventually started recording all meetings in her cellphone and summarizing key points at a later leisurely pace so she could also effectively participate in the meeting. This was like before the Olympics in Brazil, so it must have been 2015, maybe earlier. Since then, I've always assumed that someone is secretively recording all meetings where I have to wear a suit. Much, much earlier, during the 2008 meltdown, meetings sometimes ended with loosen-up remarks that one wouldn't want recorded (one client was a big corp whose CEO was known to have an extremely attractive wife). These were valuable bonding moments, but maybe they underscored a corporate culture that had its downsides (like making the pretty girl in the team do all the charliework).
