If my calendar has even one open 30-minute slot, it gets filled immediately. It doesn’t matter if I blocked time to think, write, or just breathe, someone always assumes availability equals permission.

I work with mostly autistic students.

I am lead counsel on a case - we’re suing 3 businesses and my supervisor is a named incorporator of one of the businesses although he is not an officer. He is asking me to bring the file and meet with him about the progress of the case. I reminded him of the conflict and he stated that the conflict was resolved because he also has a claim against 1 of the companies that he recently filed separately. I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?
