Except she took the meeting from her car, so the message sent is, do whatever you want, just be available on the phone.
That sounds like an amazing message! I would take it - would love a manager like this
+1000
And if you prove you can contribute and add value on these calls or zooms, even better for you!

Good test.
Good weed out process too.
Totally. Unclear, unannounced rule changes leave behind the people who can't get hired elsewhere. That's definitely who you want to keep.
There was no rule change. There was not rule.
An internal mtg was changed from 9am to 4pm.
Get over it.
