When this happens I always assume the Big Cheese has a bitter nagging wife at home that he hates to go home to, so he schedules meaningless meetings that run over quitting time because, after all, misery loves company so of course the staff should have to share in it.
Many moons ago when I first started work, we had to have a whole load of induction meetings. One of them was on Quality Assurance. Not the most riveting subject anyway, but the guy giving it had such a dull droning voice. I looked up once and found him staring directly at me and asked “Are you ok”. I answered “Yes” and he carried on. I asked a colleague afterwards what that was all about. Apparently I fell asleep and hadn’t even realised. It was that riveting.

Toxic management. Been there, experienced that.
The sad part is that there is always some one person who says, “Wait, what was that again? I don’t get it!”
