In 10 years time

Yesterday, the COO of former Reuters, Devin Wenig, visited the HK office. It was a big event in the office, and the HR did a lot of (to me) unnecessary preparations, e.g. hiding all the rubbish bins, plugging off the telephone line on every desk, asking all the colleagues for a rehearsal to ensure there would be a hand-clapping crowd for his speech (one was almost assigned a particular place to stand), hiding all the green Reuters Messaging dolls on the desks, etc. The funniest thing being Devin discovered the same colleague appeared in 2 sessions of his talk, because the HR wanted a bigger crowd of audiences. Heading a company at 40. Isn't it one of those admirable legends? Despite all the marketed imagines, I guess, he is still a cool person.
