... like it is the most important thing for you as well in that moment. If you let the "underling" feel like their thing is completely unimportant (Or, if you cancel a meeting about it last second, because more important things), you not only create a feeling of disrespect, you also hamper the ability of that person to do their job properly.
Guess at which end of this I found myself today and how it went.

@halfbyte@ruby.social - if a person (not a manager) i feel for you; ex: once, out of hidden ignorance, rejected for $30/yr to get a dev and shortlink domain for internal use, where they turned around and purchased a $10,000/yr solution (no joke) - if a manager, i'd assume their ignorance before malice, and they could be better communicators, at least get the gist of the request, express what they understand and if a meeting did need to be cancelled, at least put the gd cancellation reason in the notice.
