Anyone else feel like fake urgency is getting out of hand? Every task is marked high priority, but no one can say why. How do you push back without sounding difficult? Always seems to happen on a Friday, too. Most of the time the clients request things even if they’re offline for the weekend.

Omg too true. I worked so quickly with multiple teams to provide a full funnel deck with a supposed “unlimited budget” only for it to end up being $50,000 for DSP. Ridiculous.

Clients’ lack of planning/communication or “I told my manager I’d get this done by EOW” does not make an emergency for you.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
