Angela had a large workload and wasn't prepared when her supervisor Yolanda assigned her a new project. Her first thought was that Yolanda didn't like her and wanted to punish her. Angela recognized the destructive labeling of the situation and countered with a specific that Yolanda might have a problem with how Angela manages her time. Even after developing a schedule, Angela still could not find the time to complete her regular work and the project on time as well. She sent Yolanda an email asking for a meeting about projects. At the meeting, Yolanda explained that Angela was one of her hardest workers.

She agreed to give her an extension so she could get everything done.
