I have made egregious meeting errors every year of my long career as I did when making a pitch for a new product account before the senior management of a major New York-based corporation.
(Before anyone cites the zillionaire / plug-and-play camps: very wealthy people have been flying into relative luxury in Black Rock City for many years, and egregious assholes who try to exploit people and don't respect the community show up every year as well.
In one egregious case, a 56-year-old worker at a North Carolina company was fired.
