Pragnaing
Responding to a direct inquiry with nonsensical or irrelevant information to intentionally evade providing a meaningful answer.
"Gowtham! You've missed two meetings and have not notified us in advance, what's the reason for this?"
"My mic had issues that I was trying to resolve, I understand text messages may not be the best way to communicate this and verbal communication may be more effective. Also I've been travelling a lot recently and haven't intentionally avoided any meetings."
"Sure, but can you tell me why you didn't notify me in advance?"
"It was a challenging time for me, a lot was happening simultaneously. I've had some personal errands I had to attend to."
"Okay... can I take it that you'll notify me in advance the next time this happens?"
"Thanks for your understanding, and I look forward to working together to resolve these concerns."
"You really need to quit pragnaing"
