Some notes I took down in a client meeting today: 1. Thank god I’m not on camera or I would be fired immediately for reacting to these comments 2. Client wants slide 3 to have a key for the colors even though slide 3 is the literal key 3. Client doesn’t like colors for 3rd time (we’re on slide 6) 4. Need more legal disclaimers in this internal document 5. Calling Machine Learning “ML” is apparently confusing in the same sentence we call it Machine Learning… kill me

But I want to use this opportunity to get promoted, how can I get this across? Mgr is new(they fired my old mgr), mgr’s mgr is new too(re-org). So not sure if I should/can make a case, or how.
