Imagine. The world has self-destructed. Armageddon has happened.

I have worked as a freelancer for an organisation for over a decade. I get work three or four times a year, and it involves attending meetings, traveling, staying in a hotel, writing reports, and moderating results. It is work I enjoy. Recently, new management has taken over. The last management team was suddenly dismissed, and all of us lowly folk were told to attend an online meeting where the way ahead would be discussed. If we had any questions, we should submit them before the meeting.
