Had my boss just yesterday close the office door and gently chide me about interrupting other people on the call. Best rebuke I've had in years.
- realityking 5y agoI fondly remember the CMO taking me aside after I gave a presentation at a Company town hall (startup, ~300 people) and gently telling me I just made myself and the Marketing department look incompetent.
