All Hands:

Worker: "I'd like to ask about pay review. The numbers look really strong, and some people are probably wondering if that's going to show up in review."

Exec: "That's a great question. I don't want to say anything I can't promise, but we're going to be looking at all our options and I'm sure we're going to look to reward great performance. Does that help answer your question?"

Sketch comedy writers, look out. This thing is sadly, hilariously, accurate.

Nice, it's got real Interdimensional Cable vibes.

The ‘mixed’ accent option appears to be just British after all

This is hilarious, but I think people should be addressing the real issue instead of this, maybe that work environment isn’t for you and it’s time to look somewhere if you need to pretend. Just say you’re busy or fill your calendar with whatever you are working on without a meeting, in fact, a lot of meetings is a sign of a wasted time so if I see someone (especially technical) is doing a lot of meeting I know they are wasting time or slacking.

needs more "hmms" and "uhms" to sound believable... this is all fairly flat and evenly cadenced

what a fucking stupid meetings with stupid accents and stupid people talking stupid corporate shit making it sound like they are engineering a rocket. ffs, you are the plumbers writing the cruds.

smart meetings have `pauses`, `thoughts` and `i don't knows`. this is so fucking stupid that i find it lame enough not to use it.

I'm gonna ironically make a Claude theme and use that if I ever hand write a site again. :)

bro, that's cool. My friends disturb me a lot while working. This would definitely help
