Well, to be fair, there really are a lot of shocking nightmares going on these days.

Challenging them is one thing. Disrupting the CEO’s public speech is another. I think almost every company would fire any employee who did that for any reason.

Texting would be so impersonal. The polite way to do things is to accidentally hand over the documents in person.

I don’t think New England is a useful category anymore, since modern-day Maine doesn’t have more in common with the Boston area than it does with upstate New York. I’d extend what they’re calling the “NYC Metro” area from Boston in the north to Philadelphia (or maybe even D.C.) in the south as a sort of east coast mega-city.
