i couldn't agree more dsedaris. smile

unless my boss told me to do some extra load on top and if i have means of helping it why not. but when your colleague is acting as if superior and pressing on you, that's a different story.

same sentiments here, unless that colleague was informed beforehand by your boss, that you'll be giving him/her some of your load. or if he/she has a lighter work load, i don't think they'd mind helping you out a bit.

there's an awesome article about delegating work here. hope this help! smile

how would you ask someone to do something that is not in their job requirement? i mean, you both have the same job requirements but yours is much heavier compared to the other one..how would you delegate some of your work then? i don't think asking nicely would count..unless you're the boss..
