A bunch of executives are around a board room table. They're staring at a plant seated at the end.
There is a plant instead of a CEO.
Why is a plant in a chair?
It's amazing to think he started out in the lobby.

"Starting in the lobby" usually would refer to a someone who climbed the entire corporate ladder starting as a low-level employee like a secretary in the lobby. But here, the plant is the boss; lobbies of office buildings often have decorations like this, so, like a human could, the plant also started in the lobby.
