There was a brief fad of ‘hot desking’ to improve efficiency. Basically workers don’t have an assigned space and can work at any desk through the magic of technology.
I was thinking along the same line as Folly, re hot desking. But given the size of the desk and the window view, this guy seems like he’s a C-level exec, who wouldn’t be subject to that. Hot desking is for peons. And what does it have to do with the stock price?
It occurs to me there should be some kind of signs on that thing. You know, “Caution: Heated surface.” Otherwise someone might put a memo or a pen or a Styrofoam cup on it, or some secretary might sit on the edge to take dictation. They might think that the eggs and bacon are just plastic toys for relaxation.
On the other hand, it’s really late at night and I’m thinking too much about a cartoon.
They have breakfast meetings to find ways to improve stock price. Thus far, they’ve found a way to improve breakfast meetings. The time has not been completely wasted.

His new desk is a propane grill.

But IDU why he’d think that would have anything to do with the price of stock. (What stock?)

This is a literal hot desk?

The PR people tell the stock analysts that “this CEO is really cookin'”.

His desk is a griddle. Not so useful for work, but great for breakfast meetings. He’s currently making bacon and eggs.

I love trying to imagine the question that generated this response. “Hey, you’ve converted your desk to a grill. Will that help the stock price?”
Also, I guess he’s making all that food for himself? That’s a pretty big breakfast.

beckoningchasm: It’s not all for himself. It’s for a breakfast meeting, so I guess he’s going to share it.

I took it just as another variation on the “_______ desk” (standing, treadmill… grill?)
Still, um, not funny.
