How do you stop getting sucked into fake emergencies? My manager makes everything urgent and then forgets about it 10 minutes later. The constant panic, the stress cycles, the scrambling for no reason... it's all so stupid when it's not even coming from the client.

I’m not sure if this is the best way, but I match their energy in terms of it being a panicky emergency. At least while face-to-face, then I take my time to prioritize all “emergencies” and work on them as needed. My last boss was terrible with that, and they took it personally if you didn’t seem to care, even though there was an urgent matter every day.

I have no problem stopping someone and reminding them that this is not an emergency. I have said in the past, "A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine." Sometimes you just have to put someone in their place, respectfully.

My manager used to do the exact same to me! If everything is urgent then nothing is!

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

Hey you, weary teacher, I see you.

I know you work hard.
Sometimes it seems like you’re the only one
in the whole damn school who cares...

I know.

You are power.
Through you flows the future.
You author the stories of the world.

I care about the tale you are creating.
