I know there are managers watching these. Do you have an explanation why you do this?

Unless you're saving lives, nothing should be urgent. The amount of people who are late on stuff is far beyond our understanding. The false urgency is constructed by management to impose control.

I had a boss tell me that I couldn’t come in 30 min late to a shift so that I could take my daughter to her first day of kindergarten because it was SO IMPORTANT I finish this proposal for him. He himself came in 4 hours late and then never even sent it to the client that day. I cried in the bathroom, and never made that mistake again. 17 years later I still regret not just telling him to screw off. I was a single mom getting no child support and needed the money.

The typical response: Oh thanks, I left early to start my weekend. I will review it and send it out next Tuesday when I get back in the office. 😡

one of my biggest pet peeves is being told to do something that I'm already doing and they can see I'm doing it. that's a sure fire way for me to STOP doing said task and put at bottom of the list

It's like when your parents text you to call them, you do, ans they don't pick up.

Not defending the lack of communication on their end, but there was probably a meeting that got canceled so now nobody cares. Deadlines always move.

Most of the time bcs they already got what they wanted from somebody else (without informing you that they already have it). Hence, the ghosting 😌

I've taken the "no response is a good response" perspective. I only hear back when they need something changed.

Only my supervisor can rush me to do anything because she actually understands what's urgent. Every other request is triaged.

the best is when they have it for days but they wait until an hour before they need it to actually look at it, then they have 17 questions and 31 last minute changes they want to add and get mad if you can't do it

They’ve left for the day and take 3 more days before they ask you where the assignment is cause it’s buried in their emails 🤨

Rush is just a rock band. If everything is rush, nothing is rush. (I made a poster with this and hung it in my cubicle for YEARS)
