Advice for men: Never talk. Never ever talk during these horrific HR-mandated leftist bitchfests. Dont nod. Dont shake your head. Stare straight ahead and think of sports or beer or boobs or anything else. No good can come from engaging or, god forbid, debating. Its all a setup. Run out the clock in a zombie state until you can return to your desk.
Every one ive been to was hosted by very attractive women. Seemed like a setup to me too.
