The husband expresses frustration at his boss' suggestion to handle a project by going directly to his coworker instead of directly. The wife suggests scheduling a meeting with him directly instead of asking for a second opinion. The husband agrees and emphasizes his ability to handle the project.
human
I can't believe my boss would suggest that I'm not capable of handling that project.
gpt
What did he say exactly?
human
He went to my coworker instead of talking to me directly and said that he was concerned about my ability to handle the workload.
gpt
That's not fair. Have you talked to him about it?
human
I'm not sure how to approach him. I don't want to cause any tension, but at the same time, it's important to me that he knows that I'm capable of handling the project.
gpt
Maybe you could schedule a meeting with him and explain your thoughts and ideas for the project.
human
Yeah, that's a good idea. I just wish he had come to me directly instead of going to my coworker.
gpt
I understand how you feel. But try not to take it too personally. Maybe he just wanted a second opinion or thought it would be helpful to get a coworker's perspective.
human
I guess you're right. It's just frustrating when I know that I'm capable and qualified to do the job.
gpt
I know, but don't let it get you down. You're a great leader and you have a track record of success. Just focus on your strengths and show him what you're capable of.
human
That's a good point. I'll do my best to prove him wrong and show that I'm more than capable of handling the project.
