The lack of tasteful or understated digital watches.

unless they're the people in charge and/or actually doing the work that drives the company. in which case, listen to them.
To your first point, I was working on the assumption that these are people that work for LITT or are down the ladder.
To your second point, I was working on the assumption that LITT works for a huge corporation wherein no one person can "drive the company" because of what they do.
