I think I am going to get the boot tomorrow. Today in our tier marketing seminar, out of state corporate brought in a speaker to talk about personal image vs corporate image.
He was one of those presenters that won't stop "actively engaging the audience" and one of his "stop; and focus-in" moments came with the question:
"In a single word, what defines your brand?"
I don't know what came over me but I took initiative to answer first and for reasons I still haven't sorted out in my own head, I leaned back in my chair and said in an altogether inappropriately loud voice with upward intonation:
"DEEEEEEWRITOS!"
Needless to say, the entire conference room basically stopped everything and there was a few seconds of confusion before my coworker tried to laugh it off (not sure if he was doing it for my sake or to cut the awkwardness). I went up to the CMO after the seminar to attempt an apology, but he just looked away when I walked up and he immediately left.
I am so fucked.
