Old boss.
Our work crew was meeting with some upper management types. They had already decided their misguided course of action. Facts and long term success didn't matter. Boss pulled me aside and asked me not to say anything although I was accurate, on point, and well spoken.
When the obligatory "any questions?" came around, nobody said a word. Eerily quiet while all eyes settled on me. Just smiled. Didn't have to utter a word.
