Not difficult to imagine future conversations with the Human Resource department:
HR: We notice that in your meeting yesterday on distribution from our Newark hub, you only allowed Tammy to speak for 7 total minutes, while Dave was allowed to speak for 10 total minutes.
Manager: Well yes, Dave has a bit more experience with Newark, and had more valuable and pertinent input.
HR: From now on, we want you to make sure that Tammy gets equal time in all meetings regarding distribution from our Newark hub. We do not want her feeling that her opinions are of less importance than other meeting participants.
Manager: This is ridiculous. I'm not going to hold a stopwatch to people when they're speaking just to please Alexa. I run my meetings in a way that I know is most effective and most efficient. I'm trying to run my department here.
HR: If you don't allow proper time for Tammy, you will written up. Three write-ups are cause for immediate termination.
You think I'm kidding, gang?
Gee, too bad we got rid of unions to protect workers rights.
Do you know the kinds of silly shit I've seen people fired for or have been fired for myself... I just can't get worked up. If they are really going to use this as a criteria, FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO WORK.
