I'm mad at myself for not being stronger and saying "no, just tell them the truth because they will be confused." But it's fine, I will own my mistake. I responded to my boss/client and the manager that we need to just suck it up and tell the truth because now they are confused. We can say "the lack of media response is one issue, there are bigger issues are we were trying to avoid the confrontation, but we realize we need to just tell you how difficult it has been to work with you and how displeased we are with this partnership." And then we can give them examples of all the issues, and tell them we don't want to continue on with this.

I told them I don't mind being the bad cop and saying all the negative stuff. But I think they should let me because my client will back down. What's funny is that she will outright tell me when I'm on the line or in error, but with these people she won't? Maybe I should point that out to her and ask what that's about. Like she has confronted me in the past, but maybe it's because we click and she feels comfortable and like it's worth it to have the confrontation. I don't know.

This is so exhausting.
