My broker decided last year that we needed to start every Monday with a "team alignment huddle" at 7:30 AM. In person. Non-negotiable. It's basically forty-five minutes of him reading motivational quotes from a leadership book he never finished and then passive-aggressively asking why our numbers aren't higher. Meanwhile, he hasn't closed a deal himself since 2019 and spends most of his time "networking" at the golf course. Last week he spent twenty minutes explaining the importance of "hustle culture" while simultaneously announcing he was taking a two-week vacation to Cabo. The best part? He cc's himself on every single email we send to clients "for training purposes" but has never once actually given feedback. Just watches. Like a real estate surveillance system with a bluetooth earpiece. Three of us have started a group chat called "Escape Committee" where we compare notes on other brokerages. I'm pretty sure he knows it exists because he made a weird comment about "loyalty" at the last huddle while staring directly at me. Anyway, if anyone's hiring, I'm great at nodding through pointless meetings.
