And you don't want to be confrontational, and you don't want the extra work. You need to respond in ways that gives them the work they were about to hand off to you. | |
| Sep 30, 2022 at 3:19 | comment | added | Roy | My concern with this is that it requires OP to assume that Coworker will always be shoving responsibility onto OP, and OP has fractions of seconds to craft replies that reflect responsibility back on Coworker. This is assuming conversations are happening in person. | |
