I am so sick and tired of our coworkers always asking us to do things that are not part of our job. We are being taken advantage of.
gpt
That's not fair. Did you talk to the boss about it?
human
I did, but he just told us to do it anyway. I feel like we deserve more respect than that.
gpt
I understand. Maybe we need to have a more serious conversation with our boss about boundaries and what we are truly responsible for.
human
That's a good idea. It's just frustrating because I feel like we are always the ones who have to pick up the slack.
gpt
I know, but we can't just sit back and let it continue. We need to take action and stand up for ourselves.
human
You're right. It's just hard to know where to draw the line sometimes.
gpt
I understand. But remember, we can make our voices heard and advocate for ourselves. We have to be our own advocates.
human
Speaking of advocating for ourselves, do you remember the advice book I read a while back that helped me improve my communication skills?
gpt
Yes, I remember. Did you want to revisit some of the techniques it taught you?
human
Yes, I think it could be helpful for us to refresh on some of those tools. Especially when it comes to communicating with our boss about the boundaries we need to set.
gpt
That's a great idea. Let's pull out the book later and review some of those strategies together.
human
Sounds good. I'm just glad we can talk about these things and support each other through them.
gpt
Me too. We make a great team.
