Episode 8 - Temporary Means Temporary, Or At Least It Should

from As I Was Saying - with April Simpkins · host April Simpkins

“Can you cover this for now?” Famous last words. In this episode, April breaks down why “for now” is one of the workplace’s most slippery little phrases, especially when leaders use it to patch a staffing problem with someone else’s bandwidth. We’re talking workload, burnout, overtime, fuzzy expectations, and the difference between asking for help and quietly handing someone a second job.
