#25 Coworker Who Predicts Every Meeting
When someone predicts exactly what everyone in the room will do before they do it. I once had a coworker who could read people almost perfectly. Before meetings he would quietly say things like: “John will disagree with this, Sarah will try to soften the discussion, and the manager will end the conversation early.” And then the meeting would play out exactly like he said.
It wasn’t manipulation. It was just an extremely sharp understanding of people and patterns. It honestly felt a little unsettling.
