ah I was too late.

Heather, if you can see your way clear to making the needed changes, it is going to take time to get something back from him. I know your LB is empty too.

If you cant, or wont. Move on.
Do what needs to be done. Or say you are unable, or its not worth it.
Your H is not a business problem. He cant be dealt with in the same way you are used to getting things done.
