About 30 years ago, my boss taught me a valuable lesson.
Things had been crazy busy and I knew I had been falling behind. One day the phone rang and it was the boss, calling from head office. He asked about a couple of the projects, wasn't happy about what he heard and proceeded to rip a wide strip.
When he hung up, I sat there in shock for a few minutes, then realized he had dumped all those projects on me. There had been no way I could have completed everything on time. I got about half angry and called him back.
When I got him on the phone, I asked him how he expected me to do all the stuff he wanted. He laughed and said he was trusting my judgement. If he asked me to do something and I felt I wasn't able to do it, I should have the good sense and judgement to tell him "No."
The SOB was right.
