Too many times in my admittedly short career some exec or PM has come up with something and immediately wanted it and asked the developer to do it.
Developer doesn’t have any context on the ask, so has to go ask other people.
Execs solution is to call a mega meeting and they can easily grab everyone if they are in the same room. Online or in offices, it can be time consuming to wrangle everyone.
Overall, very disruptive to work, but it does seem to allow their particular ask to get done quickly which makes them look good. The damage to other productivity is like rust. Hard to notice until it gets really bad.
