Idk I've definitely been in meetings that had "war room" vibes like you get like 20 people in a room to solve an urgent problem otherwise there will be a safety or environmental incident, or the company will lose millions of dollars. Then again most people's jobs don't have problems that can kill people or release toxic chemicals into the environment if something goes wrong.
a safety or environmental incident, or the company will lose millions of dollars
Those are ultimately the same thing, no?
The second one is usually treated with more urgency
The first usually leads to the second.
Urgency depends on Legal's estimate of how much it will cost the company.
I once worked at a place like this. An exec insisted on making this elaborate video wall room at great cost so we could "keep an eye on things' but after tons of money, effort, and time having contractors try to make it work (even though we literally had TWO in house teams that are AV experts), it got torn down!
It was a mess from start to finish and cost tens of thousands of dollars if not more. Even during the times everything WAS working, people staffing it mostly didn't use it because the screens were all highly visible to anyone walking by regardless of what they were authorized to see or do. "War room" staffers had to use their laptops anyways because of some of the information displayed, which also meant they had to sit facing AWAY from the big expensive screen array or people walking by could see THEIR laptop screens.
The whole room pretty much existed solely for this one exec to try and impress people, he would walk them by or into this room and say something like, "This is where it all happens!" (it wasn't) or "This is our nerve center, welcome to the War Room!" (it wasn't our "nerve center" either) but the guy pretty much never had a clue as to what was actually going on or what people were actually doing. He eventually got retired after the new president caught on to all the crazy bullshit he was doing, but it took YEARS to get the guy out. Everyone was thrilled when he was finally gone.
Yeah typical management waste. But I repeat myself.
My last job had a massive wall of screens. And it was explicitly to impress government officials.
It had a news live stream playing (cycling between CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News), the weather, live camera feeds of both our on site and offsite DR data center, as well as live feed of our store room and basement (where all the cooling and power was routed). The screens also displayed all of our dashboards like nagios, Citrix, and Oracle. There was one that gave alerts if a system was down.
And this was all displayed on an array of 3 rows and 4 columns of 55 inch TVs using a chrome extension called "Revolver" to cycle through.
We actually only used like 3 of the total 20 rotating screens and it was way more efficient to have them running on my own 55" TV as a monitor just using power toys to give it a dedicated corner and then the rest could do emails and news.

Gov workers need this to know wether they still have a job or not
"Bob we just got laid off again"
"Ugh well early lunch break it is"
*during lunch* "Hey look I think we're employed again for the afternoon"
Yeah, well, who are you to judge a 4 star General Debbie eh?
She goes by Deborah now... She thinks it makes her sound important.
yeah okay Deb. Why do you always talk about yourself in third person?
Debbie Does Genocides.
I mean, this has basically been a constant since the advent of capitalism. There's a reason why a "Company" has things like a "Chief Executive Officer", some of the very first corporations were literally mercenary groups who organized their hierarchical structures off of the military.
Kinda why I think an-caps and libertarians are idiotic. Like how do you think corporations aren't capable of invalidating your rights? They're literally structured from militaristic organizations.....
Calling the west coast is literally like napalming children in Vietnam
Absolutely. Those dudes in the LA office should be on their way to the beach for a morning surf at 6am, not getting on a call with the the Charlotte office!
I know your paper route may not have crises Jordan, but some businesses do.
