3. "Deadline! Deadline is coming soon! When already, when?!"

Time is money, and panicking on the eve of a deadline won't help matters. Sometimes a person comes to our team with a nervous tic that developed at a previous job. In most cases, it can be overcome. Everyone has stress and looming deadlines, but Kompleto employees usually don't have eye twitches, they sleep peacefully and work without burning out.

Case study
We had a manager who would calculate hypothetical deadlines dominican republic consumer email list for a project at every weekly planning meeting, and then stand over the specialists, saying that the task had to be submitted today (and it wasn't). As a result, the head of the copywriting department staged a riot: he received a task to write a bunch of SEO texts with the note: " The USP for the product hasn't been developed yet, we'll add facts to the text later, it needs to be posted on the website by the end of the week." The editor refused to write texts about nothing (even through copywriting exchanges at an impossibly low rate), so as to redo the work later.
Bad advice. Working in a calm mode is for weaklings. Real professionals must be able to work under stress. If the work does not cause stress, it must be created immediately!
Useful advice. Just work for the result, without emotional storms.
