the more things change . . .

So I am in a huge sales meeting this week, bigger and better than ever since we bought another company. I am sitting in a room with 675 of my closest work friends gathered at the LAX Westin, and take a moment to look around. The other company has a very similar demographic, very Caucasian, graying, and about a third female. My CEO brings his staff on stage, and they sit in a long line with microphones to answer questions. There they are, 10 middle-aged graying white guys and 2 women. Uh-huh. No Comment.
