What’s the purpose of Town Halls?

I’m seriously asking. It’s always just babble.

The main purpose of Town Halls is to create an illusion that the leadership is doing some work. That’s it.

It's why I stopped going to them years ago. Didn't learn anything from them that either I didn't already know or the information didn't affect me.

I'd rather have the 30-60 minutes to actually get something done. if I did miss something, I'll hear about it in a day or two.

Not just babble, but the same babble. Every. Damn. Time.

Maybe they should stop calling it a Town Hall and just say “executive monologue with slides.” They talk at us, not with us, and every time I think we might get real answers, it’s just corporate spin and vague cheerleading. If it’s supposed to build transparency and connection, it’s missing the mark by a mile. I’d respect it more if they admitted it’s just for optics.

Leadership loves to yap. Makes them feel like they are important and deserving of the 7 figure compensations. You could tell yesterday that Doug is a very experienced yapper. I can see why he got the job. He had people buying in almost immediately. Much more effective than Bill.
