After sitting through a litany of reasons for why something won’t work, politely ask colleagues to go back to the drawing board and try again.
A change in the roster forces you to work with someone you don’t respect. Make the best of it and you may learn to appreciate things you overlooked before.
Being on call won’t make people appreciate you more. In fact it will do the opposite. Make yourself scarce for a while and your value increases.
Your loyalty to a friend could be a potential blind spot. Don’t let feelings of protectiveness turn into indulgence.
At first it looks like a settlement will cost, but mull it over. You’ll soon see that it’s a small price to pay for what you stand to gain.
You get your way but not without stepping on toes in the process. Give a friend or colleague space to sort things out. This person will still stand by you.
