I should not be involved with people who turn a blind eye to fascism.

Full stop.

I’m sorry to say that you already know what you have to do. There’s no easy way to do it other than to just do it. If it makes the process easier, you don’t have to pose it as “it’s me or them” because you already know what his answer will be. If he was going to change, he’s had plenty of opportunities already.

Don’t wait for him anymore. Live YOUR life.

Hello department,

Due to a recent policy change, the currently planned process change has been postponed. This is in part due to the new policy requiring all teams review and confirm that their work will not be impacted by any process change. Any issues that are discovered during these internal discussions must be immediately brought to management. Issues discovered this way will also set new policies to ensure the issue is fully resolved prior to any new process change. Please discuss the attached policy change(s) amongst your team and provide feedback prior to the postponed process change date. Please note that any feedback provided after the postponed process change date will not be accepted, per company policy. Any team who does not provide feedback prior to the posted deadline will require additional policies to endure promptness.

“Can you confirm if this impacts your team by tomorrow? It’s holding up the release, and management is ready to move on it.”

Nah, she lacks the depth and warmth.

Call her a Nazi.

I remember reading that when national parks tried to make a ‘bear-proof’ trashcan, they found that there was a larger overlap between the smartest bear and the stupidest human to make a viable product.

I feel like it’s a similar situation here. The smartest kid and the stupidest adult are far more similar than we’d like to admit.
