1
Thanks for coming in, Megan. How's everything going?
2
Honestly, I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed lately.
3
I'm sorry to hear that. What's been going on?
4
I've been given three major projects at the same time.
5
On top of that, I'm still covering for Jason.
6
Right, I'd forgotten he's out until next month.
7
I've been staying late almost every night to keep up.
8
That's not sustainable, and it's not what I want.
9
Which of the three projects is the most demanding?
10
The data migration, by far.
11
It requires my full attention, and I keep getting interrupted.
12
Then let's see what we can take off your plate.
13
Could the client survey be handed over to someone else?
14
It could. Most of the groundwork has already been done.
15
Good. I'll ask Priya to pick it up from here.
16
That alone would free up about a day a week.
17
What about Jason's tasks? Are they all urgent?
18
Not really. Half of them could be put on hold.
19
Then put them on hold. I'll back you up on that.
20
Thank you. I wasn't sure I had the authority.
21
In the future, please raise this kind of thing sooner.
22
I will. I didn't want to seem like I couldn't cope.
23
Asking for help isn't a weakness. It's good judgment.
24
I appreciate you saying that. It means a lot.
25
So, the survey goes to Priya, and Jason's tasks wait.
26
Let's check in again in two weeks.
27
That works for me. I feel better already.
28
Glad to hear it. Now go home on time tonight.
