Okay, here's the scenario.

Young guy, apparently the boss, has just conducted a meeting, over the net.  A conference call so to speak.  He indicates the meeting is finally over, the folks in attendance all want to 'send comments'
(e-mails, pings[whatever they are], notes) about the meeting. 

The boss states quite clearly to each of their requests that they are 'not necessary', everything has been taken care of right here, face to face, in other words, we are done here.

Does anybody besides me see the flaw in this?

I'll wait for you.

Tick tock, tick tock.


It is now two months later, one of the people who had attended the
meeting now has a follow-up question, or perhaps needs a little recall.  He/she is looking for notes about the meeting.  He/she knows somebody has said something about this, but he/she has no written record.  Hmmm?  What to do, what to do?

Does he/she want to appear stupid, and call the boss?  Should he/she contact one of the other people who was at the meeting, admitting he/she does not remember what was said hoping they might be able to give him/her recall?

Oh my, if only there had been notes taken and shared.

Had the boss the foresight to record the video meeting and send copies to the meeting participants?  I sure hope so.  But, I think not, at least the commercial does not indicate that he did.  So, there you have it, the electronic age run a muck.  Now we have that dreaded 'he said', 'she said' scenario, or was anything said at all?

Remember folks, the electronic age is indeed a marvelous thing, I'm the last one to put a hex on it.  However old fashioned is not so bad; not only does the written word last forever, (hopefully) it can certainly avoid a lot of ricocheting bullets.  Come on Mr. Boss Man.  I'm sure you saved a lot in travel expenses, but could be, you might just lose a lot more in production costs down the road.
