Do you feel empowered to say “no” at work?

As a manager, I’m intentional about when I say “not now” or “no,” based on the specifics of each request. I want to be supportive and fair, but not every ask aligns with our department priorities or capacity. How has that worked out for you, and how much pushback do you get when you do?
