A few years back I was working for a big company and IBM wanted to present a change to their product line that would impact a major project we were working on. The technology was about to change drastically and I got us an invitation to their development center.
When IBM asked our president who from our company should participate he said not to invite me because "he'll only ask a bunch of technical questions and we'll get bogged down". This was a technical briefing we were supposed to attend.
Obviously I don't corporate speak.
