I always respond with "Yep, have a minute right now" regardless of what's happening.

I'm not going to do more work if I am going to get walked out so work stops _right now_ to resolve the vaguery, so in the end there is a net loss in productivity when the message could've been, "Need to chat about <x>, no rush", then we can minimize context loss for 2+ people.

Basically the same length but clarified.

I just say "sure, what about?" If I'm curious.

When they stonewall, you know it's time to look for another job.
