What’s the best way to deal with a coworker who treats every request like an immediate crisis but never gives actual deadlines or prioritization?
The tricky part is they often invoke management (“this needs to be done now”) which makes it hard to tell what’s truly urgent versus what just feels urgent to them.
How do you push back professionally without sounding uncooperative?
Question for those of you who use AI: How do you handle bosses who hate AI? Or workplaces that show strong AI bias?
Are those workplaces making any efforts to make processes less complicated so people won't feel the need to use AI to keep up with demands? This could be things like creating templates and workflows.
I think AI wouldn't have as strong of a grip if companies actually spent time on information architecture, but they didn't and now SOME want to complain about workers adapting to the lack of structure.
Edited to add: I am pro-AI, but just speaking to why I think there's so much push back from some companies.
Which actors do you think deserve more parts? For me, it's Gillian Anderson. She is ridiculously talented and gives me major Katharine Hepburn vibes. I could watch her act in anything, but would love to see her in period pieces or crime dramas.
I would also love to see more of Sophie Okonedo. In fact, it would be amazing to have Gillian and Sophie in a movie together. Not sure what it would be. Maybe some modern adaptation of All About Eve. They could go to town on that kind of material.
