- JohnBooty 5y agoI wish I shared your optimism. At this point I think it is a red flag, even if your manager DOES understand. Because chances are THEIR manager won't understand. Or their manager's manager. Etc. You will look bad no matter what. At this point I am beginning to think it is basically a no-win situation. No matter what.
- JohnBooty 5y ago(Maybe "no-win" is not literally true. In a literal sense, I suppose I really mean: "Dismally low odds of winning, best not to get into such situations")
