Randomly got a message from one of my reports asking what this "Mandatory Team Meeting" was on his calendar. I hadn't been invited, but it was our whole company shutting down ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oof, how did it end up going?
The company shut down.
To shreds you say? How are the investors holding up?
To shreds, you say?
But the company's not supposed to shut down.
Is that not typical?
Of course it's not typical! Ordinarily, companies don't just shut down. I want to make very clear that this is not the normal state of affairs!
So what's the minimal employee requirements for a company?
Oh, I suppose ... one?
One employee?
Well, one, I suppose.
Chance in a million
That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.
The front fell off.
The front fell off?
Yeah that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.
(The idea's that the company tanked, just like this tanker did.)
Still one of the greatest pieces of cinematics ever produced, and I'll die on this hill.
