A picture my dad’s coworker took of him during a meeting. Time to retire?

Nah; if the meeting was work, he’d be engaged. Better take-away: Don’t invite him to meetings. He won’t pretend to be interested. If it bothers you that people have to pretend, stop holding meetings. Send an email or hold a stand up meeting for exactly 15 minutes in the morning. Look, if a meeting is held and critical info is being discussed, employees will inevitably make an error because they failed to obtain important info. (No one would be taking pictures because they’d feel sorry for him.) If that IS NOT the case, rethink the value of interrupting team work flow.

Just - be very careful about sending the message that you think the best use of company money is for them to sit quietly listening to you. You think it is more important than for them to do the job you they were theoretically hired to do. I see three disengaged workers in this shot alone; the picture is not great for what it looks like outside the frame.
