I took a contract once at a mobile handset mfgr that had this. This sysadmin-cum-manager dude (with zero previous management exp) thought he was hot sh*t because of his title. Dude was robotic/patronizing fake, arrogant, useless, and just got in the way. He thought his role was to unsolicited "coach" mission statement BS and insult my intelligence.

Oddly enough, I was fired from that gig for witnessing a senior manager repeatedly mute the conference call to make racist remarks about overseas staff.

This sounds like the perfect opportunity to have your phone in your shirt pocket such that the camera just barely peeks above the cuff of that pocket. As long as you are in a one-party-consent region (most states, all of Canada), you can have some pretty juicy stuff that HR can make “go away” with a golden parachute of sufficient size.

Sadly, it was in a two-party consent state. ):

I'm now in a one-party consent state and have a trusty-dusty digital audio recorder.

I’d be on a conference call to a lawyer as soon as my feet hit the street.
