Our CEO does this. She talks to a lot of people. Once you start talking business, she clearly doesn't care about your opinion, unless you're praising something. If it's remotely critical or a suggestion to change something, you can see in her eyes she's not even processing the words anymore.

I rather have her not talking to me, because it's much worse knowing she fakes her openness, than actually just not showing up.
