Sounds like a good time to have a meeting with an external partner that you can’t skip or reschedule.

And by meeting, I mean a legit looking calendar event that will fool a cursory investigation.

This works best if you have an office with a door you can shut.

Or. Hell. Sounds like a good time to schedule a conflicting dental or doctor appointment.

"You should participate, we're a family here."

"A dysfunctional one."

Made every effort to give a shit. Failed.

Do you mean reading what they sent you or what they actually said? Cause I have no idea what they said.
