Should I ask a question during company training?
Tomorrow I’ll be in a training program with the head of our product division at [redacted company] and 30 other new employees. There will be 20 minutes for questions. Can you suggest a good question to ask?
The point of this speech is for the president of your division to look good. So the only question to ask is: Can you tell me about a time you helped an employee win a Nobel Prize? Which is to say, if you can’t make the president look good then don’t talk. Assume he’s doing a fine job on his own of making himself look great.
