I was at a a certain company (not for long) that did quick all-hands stand-up meetings once a week, so everyone could touch base. About 30-40 people, all standing up, took about 15 minutes. At the end of one meeting the CEO hosts a goodbye ritual for the CTO who is leaving for some other job or something. It was all blather about how great the guy is and how great it is that he's leaving and how that's great for the company even though he's great and we'll miss him, etc. etc. yadda yadda. Here's the punchline: at the start of the ritual the CEO and exiting CTO pulled out stools and sat down on them. It's a stand-up meeting. The rest of us are all still standing.
