I know this is a tangent, but if anything, western culture is better about this. We're not an "honor" culture, and we don't warp family relationships to "save face". People are not even allowed to apologize in some other cultures because it brings shame on their family/group.

To give a really grotesque example, there is an country run by autocrats that carelessly unleashed a plague on the world because they prioritized their self image over taking descisive action to prevent an epidemic.

For an alternative, maybe relay the texts to a slack channel (that's easy enough to receive on a phone for your coworkers). Zapier can probably integrate twilio/slack quickly.
