This is absolute bonkers ! My ex-manager too did this. He asked us to read a book, and started asking random viva questions a week later and then acted disappointed that we hadn't even started reading.

Anything that's not on my calendar, or was put 10-15 minutes before the start time, is definitely not something I attend. Even if that's important and even if I am not doing anything important - I won't join.
I am called "a bitch", I guess I wake up to do justice to it everyday.

I had a bad fight with another AE one time at about a project, I basically accused of being sleazy and muscling his way into a job, needless to say lots of adult worlds were used. I talked to my boss about the culture issue, and he said this to me

โ€œyou fuck him, next-time he fucks youโ€

So that was funโ€ฆ.

You need to be more strategic with your outreach;
Why are your activity levels so god-damned low?

Read my mind.
You are too focused on getting this exactly right. You need to just start getting outreach out the door - guarantee it's better than what's happening today.
Also my manager: have you checked news sources for quotes from the C level? Read the 10-K? Found out their position on x capability? Built out compelling messaging to speak to their vision?

"I am unwell, I won't be able to come to work tomorrow" a text sent to my manager a day before, at around 6Pm.
She still proceeds to call me at 1am because she was working on something and was stuck - and only I had that piece of information.
