I feel like I struggle to multi task and I'm a developer.

In my current workplace idk why but my manager keeps bugging me to talk to people I go out for tea and lunch with my teammates but he wants me to talk to other people as well in office.

I can't focus on work if i have to constantly context switch between doing my work which is also very intense with tight deadlines along with this and I'm facing issues multi tasking. Any advice

Ideally, it shouldn't be his business if you want to talk to others or not. Just politely say I have some work in hand which needs to be completed first in order to stall him. If he keeps insisting, tell him upfront that you like conversations to happen organically instead of forcefully just for the sake of having a conversation.

When you switch jobs inevitably, you won't even keep in touch with your manager and most of your teammates. Better to prioritize yourself and your well being.

Let's talk unhinged pro se opposing parties. We have one that emails the entire firm every few days with these SCREEDS that are like weird stream of consciousness accusations of baseless criminal and unethical conduct. So far there have been 2 emails already today. A GAL has been appointed and ordered to do a psych eval on this party, but is there any sense in responding in the mean time? Everything we say seems to get twisted.

It's so hard to not stress over this daily.
