I am in meetings sometimes where there are 10+ people on a call and lots is discussed but not much actually said. People like hearing themselves talk. Usually the direction is already decided on in the field and the folks on the call are just trying to play catchup or want to be kept in the looop, or want to add 'processes' which in turn add more costs. Sucks, but the glory days of the boardrooms full of $150k 'Central' folks are done. Also so much is getting outsourced, and a lot of it overseas right now, looking for anywhere to cut costs, even if it means more headaches trying to get good/accurate delivery from them.... Its still cheaper.
