This is so difficult to listen to. The pretense of civility and the hollow comments are so disheartening.
I'm also downright sad that the ability to produce counterpoints and rebuttals on the fly woefully lacking. The pre-written comments just aren't cutting it for me. If this were at my business I would have questioned whether this "meeting" was necessary.
The whatabout-isms, the half truths, the subterfuge, and the downright lies make my stomach turn.
