224. Communication with Employers and Colleagues

Scenario: Sarah is feeling overwhelmed with her workload and wants to discuss her work-life balance with her supervisor, Mark.


Sarah: Good morning, Mark.


Mark: Good morning, Sarah. How can I help you today?


Sarah: I wanted to discuss my workload with you. Lately, I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed and I'm struggling to maintain a good work-life balance.


Mark: I understand, Sarah. Your well-being is important to us. Can you tell me more about what's been going on?


Sarah: Well, I've been finding it challenging to keep up with all my tasks within regular working hours. I'm worried that it might start affecting the quality of my work.


Mark: I see. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Let's work together to find a solution. Would you like to adjust your workload or perhaps take some time off to recharge?


Sarah: I think a combination of both would be helpful. Maybe we could prioritize some tasks and delegate others. And I was thinking of taking a couple of days off next week to reset.


Mark: That sounds reasonable, Sarah. Let's review your tasks and see what we can rearrange. And I'll make sure to approve your time off request for next week.


Sarah: Thank you, Mark. I really appreciate your understanding and support.


Mark: Of course, Sarah. We're here to support each other. Let's make sure you're feeling more balanced and refreshed moving forward.


Sarah: Agreed. Thank you again, Mark.


Mark: You're welcome, Sarah. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything else.
