The side meeting with MG was, frankly, pointless. He played the idiot who claims he has no idea what's going on within his own company. Do you really believe he has no idea what's going on?
From what I understand, it was laid out to him why people are upset, and really how ****ed off people are now. I don't know if he will believe it over his own cronies or not, but it certainly won't hurt to let him know that everyone is ready to go on strike.
