Manager
Everything is marked urgent. What is actually first today?
Colleague
The client deadline is first. The internal report can slip to Wednesday.
Manager
What about the hiring notes this afternoon?
Colleague
The hiring notes matter, but they do not need me this afternoon.
Manager
Shall you take the client work while I draft the hiring notes?
Colleague
Yes, that split is fair. I will send you a status at four.
Colleague
If something new arrives, should we say no unless it beats the client deadline?
Manager
Yes, say no unless it beats the client deadline. That rule is easier than guessing.
Colleague
When do you need my part, realistically?
Manager
If I have your part by Thursday afternoon, we are fine.
