Shitlord speaker at industry conference (so much fun!) I recently went to a conference in my industry, with many kinds of different speakers from economists to docotrate students presenting their developments. To close the event, they brought in a CEO from a company in my field that was doing terribly and is now very good so we could hear his testimony and advice. This guy was the most hilarious speaker and an unashamed shitlord! Even though half the audience were middle-aged fat men, he (a quite old, maybe 70s, muscular guy) kept yelling about how companies need to trim the fat (usual metaphor in consulting). But then he went on this massive rant about how fat is terrible to a company and, same as people (cue shocked silence in the room) slows everything down, and is super terrible and damages the lives of everyone on contact with it. It was so great, because no one could say a word, he was talking about "company fat" (unneeded workers, inneficient processes, etc)! I just wanted to say something too, so I turned to my colleagues in the audience and complained how safety vests only come in one size and it is not safe at all. You could see some fats turning back to overhear our "whispers". I stood a bit and the yellow safety vest we all had to wear was very wide and came down to my knees, which isn't safe at all as it could get caught on something. I heard some huffs and puffs and noticed some people in the audience couldn't close their vests, even though they were gigantic! Overall it was pretty great as the speaker made a big show of saying fat fat fat all the time with an amazing snarky tone and all the corporate fat cats were huffing in their seats
