Episode 70 | Work Didn’t Start the Fire

Question

Hi Work Wives, this is Sara from Oakland. I am stressed. Everything at my job is a crisis. It's like I'm just running around a burning building with one bucket of water. Does it ever stop?

Summary

Repeat after us: unless you work at the fire department, work is *not* an emergency.

Granted, that’s easier said than believed, especially when it feels like the building is always on fire…

But the minute you realize work is truly NOT an emergency and treat it as such, you’ll engender trust, respect, and a reputation that makes you hella promotable for being the cool-headed one in a crisis.
