Was told to “have a cup of tea and do some yoga” when I asked about my job duties

Vent. My company has been completely mismanaged and absolutely no communication. When in a meeting today that could have been an email, my coworker and I asked similar questions – what are these changes, I don’t understand what my role is here, can you clarify xyz, etc. – and the VP said, “what I think is you should have some chamomile tea and do some yoga” to which I said “great idea for stress relief but it doesn’t help me do my job”. And his response? “Oh come on we’re all having fun here.” This man has been married for 20+ years. Wars have been started for less than telling a woman to relax.
