And then... the meeting veers in to something else, a decision is made about something that affects you or... simply commits you to do work.
Insane, but it's happened to me more than a few times. Sometimes directly ("you do xyz") and sometimes indirectly. "Person X will do xyz" really means I now have to manage/oversee/review person X because they're very junior. Push back, and you're "not a team player".
Doesn't happen a lot, but has happened enough for me to be wary in new orgs until I get a few months in.
