-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

For team meetings, might not be relevant. A fair amount of time I have meetings with suits outside of my department and it's nice to get some unfiltered networking in before everyone puts their meeting energy on.

The only chatting I do is about sports or something light outside of the upcoming topic. I hate the pre-meeting chat up myself.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Phone Call or In person. Snoop taught michael to do it to give you a better view if it is a setup or not.

I apply the same principal at work. I get the seat I want. I get to have the pre-convo and see what's on people's mind. Its an ever so slight advantage, but I need every one I can get.

Nobody wants to be that person all late and flustered and not know what's going on.

space as the actual meeting....
It's down the hall, in a totally separate room. The conference room is where meetings are held.

Some people don't respond to emails and calls so you gotta get int heir face when you have the opportunity.

I just sit there and look at my phone. I just don't wannahear my manager's mouth, and I try to get the 'good seat' - I don't want the bad-breath co-worker whispering her discrepancies..or the other one who likes to pass me snarky notes...talking to me.
