Isaacman, Jared: I really do not want to escalate this unnecessary as I have done everything possible to keep communication open and priorities aligned
That said, it is impossible to get anything done in the last two months. My team keeps reaching out and it goes unanswered.
Can we please put environment priorities back so we can at least maintain momentum through holidays?

Isaacman, Jared:
I tried calling. Please call me back. We have done everything we possibly can to support the integration activities and keep communications open without creating a lot of noise. That is obviously not working and seems we are forcing the unnecessary escalation path which I really do not want to do. That said, my obligation first and foremost is to do what is right for Shift4 and our customers.
