Oh wow Claire, you're right. Diane totally missed out on the fine art of eating cold pasta while nodding along to someone's story about their kid's soccer game. That's where the real power moves happen. Meanwhile she was probably too busy being a competent CFO to learn which middle manager hates which other middle manager over a shared bag of chips. Sounds like a tragedy. I bet her career really suffered from not hearing Dave in accounting complain about the printer for the fifteenth time. Some of us just aren't cut out for that kind of high stakes networking.
