In the past I've given people some pretty reasonable deadlines for work...and yet they consistently turn it in like minutes before the deadline or at the deadline they ask for more time. Frustrating, isn't it? Hope this catches on...especially understanding how their work impacts others. (One of the main reasons why I prefer to work for myself these days lol)<br><br>Karen, The Resume Chick (on Google or Twitter if you need me) Glad someone came out with this post.
