Our CRO spent way to long in the meeting this morning talking about the courting period between him and Sassine Ghazi when he was recruited from Siemens EDA. The jokes seemed edgy, with Mike Ellow joking about their bromance.

"Mike what do you think?"
"Yes." "This is interesting."
Are they for real? Seriously???
any uncut recording available internally with the close-your-eyes-guru-section, the plumber/handyman thing, the courting/dating memories?
almost too ridiculous to be real, at least for c-level material.
Can anyone say/summarize what he said?
Thank you
@gp OMG and the edit was soooooooo bad!
I wonder what the CEO thinks of the CRO emasculating him in front of thousands of employees?
@f5 wow they really did. 58:18 in the recording doesn’t lead into him saying those touch comments.
@a8 and it's been cut from the replay and transcript...
bro talks like a car salesman, looks like one too.
He also made jokes about us becoming plumbers and electricians, which was super cringe.
@OP while I wasn’t in the room, online this banter appeared to be completely reciprocal from SG which honestly is even creepier. The bromance and inappropriate humor needs to stop. We get it - ME has a “schtick” but it’s feeling forced, overdone and uncomfortable for those watching. I’m also curious why ME felt compelled to share details around the timing of when said courtship began. Why was it necessary to share that conversations began in August?
@a8 That sent shivers down my spine. Our leaders behaved like charlatans putting a spell on their audience.
The CRO asked the audience to close their eyes, assuring that no one would touch them, unless they wanted someone to
The vibe between those two was pretty awkward in the meeting. Is the honeymoon phase over already?
definitely raised some eyebrows
