It wasn't mentioned in other replies, but "jump on a quick call" also means very strongly "let's move to a place with no public record and private participation where nobody else can join in".

Then later, if it comes up again, they can just say "well we discussed this in a call previously and decided it was best to do it anyway" cutting off discussion and not presenting the reasoning.





Exactly, never accept a switch to a private place when you're trying to gather attention on public matters. It could and it will be used against you later on.

Also a call is a place where we'll try and grind you down until you agree with us.

Just record the needing, have an ai transcription service take notes. Then there’s a record.
