I'm on the Los Angeles to San Diego Amtrak afternoon commuter train. The guy across from me is looking at his laptop screen. As he scrolls through his documents, I easily see the pretty graphics, staff assignments and other information I'm sure that I - and others on the train - are not meant to see. If you think I'm spying, I'm not. I'm annoyed!

He shares with an employee (and about 6 rows of passengers - that's 24 people) that the:

• product portfolio isn't finished (starting with they don't how many units to buy),
• launch date may get push backed (someone has been 'slacking' and now the team isn't
ready),
• marketing strategy is 'wide open' (they're thinking twitter and social marketing sites), and
• team should target certain print media ('listed which ones should be approached).

He takes a swig of free wine, then goes right into the next subject.
