It is Sam and it's not Sam; it's that attitude that "no" is just "no right now", and that attitude that whittles down people against their will.
I've been working long enough, serious ageism kicks in if I say how long, but in this situation my decades of experience point at Sam as toxic, I can say all it takes is one idiot like Sam to destroy the work of a their entire organization. That "no for now" attitude destroys far far more than the issue they are pushing, it destroys basic trust.
