I've gotten a meeting invite at 9am for a org-wide all-hands at 10am that day. Always a bad sign.

Since I hadn't left for the office yet, I was able to quickly change into my black "WTF?" shirt from Thinkgeek, and still make it in time to find out that our VP and four layers of management below him had been nuked from orbit.

Oh boy, I went through a couple of those during the dot-com bust.

Best thing to do is dial into the conference number, even if you are in the office, preferably from a bar down the street.

Truly two of the worst e-mail subject lines to get from investors, managers, etc are "Update" or "Catch Up"

Or the dreaded meeting invite for "One-to-one". I remember the first time I had one of those, and hmm, it also included someone from HR. How is that one-to-one again?

Great observation :) +1
