    I hated that job because I inherited 75% of my boss’ responsibilities (this included) when he quit but I was always pretty nice - and most speakers were just like “lol damn u got me, sorry”

    In the 4-5 years I was screening decks, only one person was a dick. And if you guessed it was because I said he couldn’t promote his paid online course for half his presentation, you’d be right! Every other slide had something like “Learn more about this at [www.shitbagscumbag.com/givememoney]”

    He flipped his shit asking why he’d even present if he couldn’t advertise. I didn’t even reply, I just forwarded the email to the meeting director. They barred him from the meeting and I think he lost his membership.
