Everyone Still Not Listening at Staff Meeting

Hagerstown, MD - Coors Marketing Director Al Dingle made his third presentation in five days to a group of disgruntled employees in the fourth floor conference room today. Following the meeting, one employee confirmed that "nobody was listening to a word the guy said." Dingle talked about the need to improve customer service, increase sales, and develop new products. "In one ear and out the other," shipping manager Frank Battisto said. "When he fixes the damn coffee machine in the lounge, I'll start worrying about product arriving on time." Dingle introduced several new high tech charts, showing a record breaking decrease in productivity. "Sales are falling and our shareholders are barking mad," Dingle explained. "Is he still talking in there," employee Marge Schott asked, as she walked down the hallway completing a sudoku puzzle. "I don't even go to his meetings." The meeting was adjourned when a guy from sales booed Dingle and threw a chocolate munchkin at his head.
