April 23, 2008Reader Question ~ terribly busy
Meryl,
What can I say to a co-worker (management) whose normal response to inquiries is to begin by saying “how terribly busy she is”?
Meryl Responds:
- When you tell me how terribly busy you are, it signals to me that I am imposing on you by making an inquiry. Is that your intent?
I do try to avoid unnecessary interruptions; however, I’d like to feel free to ask for things I need without getting the impression that I am imposing on you.
