Discussion on answer by Richard Says Reinstate Monica: I'm being blamed for not responding to an email from a client

If you get fired for this, your job is in constant jeopardy anyway, best find it out now, rather than when you're fired for wearing blue socks, or going to the bathroom, or liking ABBA.

Comparing NOT responding to an email to driving drunk means this conversation has degraded to the point where it's meaningless.
