Scripts for work

Language for workload, hours, and workplace pressure.

At work

  • "I can't take that on right now without dropping something else — can we talk about priorities?"
  • "I'm not able to stay late tonight."
  • "I'll pick this up again during working hours."
  • "I'd rather we discuss this over email so I have time to think it through."
  • "I'm not going to be able to give feedback on that today."

You might explore these in your own words — there is no right answer, and stopping partway is completely fine.
