Handing out pamphlets is even more tactless than what happened to a friend of mine. There was an unexpected town hall meeting at her company for half the staff and the HR person brought in two boxes with rubber duckies. He told them they were these rubber duckies. And as rubber duckies they were swimming in the sea but suddenly a shark came and ate half of them. In the first box were the duckies that got away and in the second box were the duckies that got eaten by the shark. He was sad to inform them that they (everyone in the meeting) were in the second box.
