You know how women are constantly being told we need to learn to say "no" at work more often?

Yeah, so this pandemic has confirmed my belief that in fact we need to train some people to know when to STOP ASKING OTHER PEOPLE TO DO WORK FOR THEM.

My inbox is full of requests that just did not need to be made right now. Just stop and think, people. The economy is shut down except for ESSENTIAL BUSINESS. Stop and think if your request is ESSENTIAL.

Because even telling you no is work. It takes PRECIOUS time from me. Work time is in short supply. Stop taking it from other people when you don't need to.
