hastened by the boss, will you in a mess and keep making mistakes more?

I Think that many people do cave under pressure. Very few people are able to not do as such. Would I ? I would, I am sure of it. Handling pressure from upper managament is not my forte.

Hello lynettebyc, I am very sorry about that situation, but I had very similar at my work. My boss asked me to make some calculations, what were physically impossible to make in one day, and especially on the day he asked me to make, I have told that I have to go earlier, to go to the doctor that day. And he has been asked about this calculation from his senior as well. I have told him, how does he think I will make this calculation and does he really realize what he is asking for. He told that, what are you doing - nothing anyway, and you have an assistant too. I have told that I will not make this calculations as this is impossible - physically. And my assistant also refused to make it after I have left that day. I have told that this is can be done only next day by the evening, on what he told :"And how I will tell this to my senior?" I have told that, "as I have told, not possible and have to wait". He was very angry, but after that he does not come to me with such stupid requests.

Hi there Lynette! Oh, I feel sorry for your friend. If I'm in the same situation and I know that it's really important, I will take my time and ignore everything else around me including the boss. Better that it's slowly but surely because if I panic, I'm sure to commit mistakes more likely.
