A collaboration is only as good as the two people involved. Do the best job you can and your partner will likely do the same.
Be willing and able but don’t run to anyone’s rescue. A supervisor has taken you for granted for too long and needs reminding of how invaluable you are.
Amends are made and life returns to normal (sort of). The truth is if you’re willing to look the other way then a certain someone will be eternally grateful.
This isn’t the time to be accommodating. If anything you have to be bossy! Inform difficult types that you expect them to step up and they will.
You hate to give up something for nothing, but sacrifice is what’s required now. Don’t worry. It won’t go unreciprocated.
People are confusing feelings with figures. It’s up to you to remain rational and to let the math speak for itself.
