I once had a meeting in america that went on for 2 DAYS! till midnight both night. 3 months designing of this application. head guy says he knows best then drag everyone into a meeting to talk him through our design. To which he then argues every point out so eventually he does it all his way. Day 2 involved him sitting with us redesigning the whole thing in MS Project page by page. I remember my team lead thumping me in the leg as my eyes had started to close and head nod back.
Well, it's nice to know how CLK's previous employment worked out... actually, ours was a peer. He went to CMMI class so the PL assigned him to keep us inline with CMMI, he decided that that awarded him as Code Nazi. We did have one two day planning meeting, but the PL at least paid for a conference room at a hotel.... Planning meetings can go on forever. No this was our equivalent for a SCRUM meeting. It was a keep on track purpose, but the weekly meeting was more accusation and arguing from the one peer. Even though he was not our superior, we all learned that if you don't at least go along with what was said, it will last forever. I called it our weekly ass chewing meeting.
