Do they ever allow questions that are not pre-screened?

I never go. Town Halls are only for people who like to hear themselves talk. Town Halls are a total waste of my time.
Join the townhall, take off your headset, then leave your desk, go for a walk, get a cup of coffee. If your working from home, use that as an opportunity to grab groceries or watch a movie on Netflix.
Town Halls are fun to listen too. Chuckles usually says something that he needs to walk back. Also, the man should probably attend Toastmasters, to learn how to speak in public. Ugh, Umm, Ugh!
Charlie checks a box after each one of them. I guess that means yes, useful, to him.
No, it's an ego thing for the executive to get in front of an audience or video camera and run a talk show. Town Halls are all overproduced and insincere- and there are too many of them.
We used to have people ask about parking, food, and random other stuff. That was with old execs though.
The new execs would lose their stuff over that for sure.

Same.
Never. They bring negative value. I stopped attending years ago.
usually no
If the questions are submitted in advance no, at least not that i've ever seen in 15 years. In person questions could be though, like someone could say they wanna ask about the CEO's tie and when they get up their ask about offshoring.
I remember one town hall where someone asked the CEO at the time about using clean energy and the CEO ridiculed the question so I'm guessing that wasn't planned.
