This is not a reflection of the quality of our management, only a reflection based upon my observation of the past few years. FWIW, I’m fully capable of reading a powerpoint presentation myself.
They are only pointless if your expectation was that management would do all the talking and the conversation is one way. What I see is management hearing what the troops have to say and that pocket sessions are a chance to hear from the masses rather than other way around. I always knew that David was handcuffed by SEC rules as to the amount of info he could give. I felt the session was a chance for info to flow from lower to higher.
