'Please don't leave...'

It looks like electric  light  has not reached the (virtual) boardroom of something...  is the smell and  sound of another method of lighting  i hear and smell...

"Please don't leave , we need you ..." - to provide a veneer of respectability to our structure

"Please don't leave your input is valuable" - except when it challenges the ego of others, then it's rejected

"please stay, we need you" - until it looks  like  you might vote against   a damaging plan that is the pet project of someone else. 

"Please stay, even if  you  find you can't do something  that you had  said was a three line whip , but someone else changed the date  after  confirming it. "  - I don't like having my integrity compromised...

"Please stay, even though  i've dismissed  out of hands the concerns over the conduct of others in management raised by members  that you share."   - i think you underestimated the strength of my personality and unwillingness to compromise myself there ...
