Ever notice how some people suddenly forget how to do their jobs when there’s work they don’t want to do?

There’s a name for that: Weaponized Incompetence.

It’s when someone repeatedly acts like they can’t handle a responsibility, knowing someone else will eventually step in and do it.

And sometimes, that someone is YOU.

Here’s a boundary worth practicing:

“I’m happy to show you how to do it, but I won’t be able to take over that responsibility.”

Have you ever worked with someone who always seemed to need rescuing when it came time to do their own work?

Someone standing at your desk can make it hard to finish a single thought.

Try:
“I need to get back to this. Can we visit later?”

You don’t have to wait for them to notice that you’re busy. You can end the conversation respectfully.

What helps you protect your focus at work?

Say it louder for those in the back!

The worst 😑

A “quick chat” in the hallway can turn into a whole meeting while you’re trying to get somewhere.

Try:
“I’m heading back to work. Can we schedule a time to talk?”

Give the conversation a time when you can actually pay attention.

How often does “quick” turn into twenty minutes at your job?

“We’re like family here.” Okay… what kind of family? 👀

The kind that respects your time and supports you? Or the kind that makes you feel guilty for saying no and expects you to put up with everybody’s bullsh*t?

Pay attention to how they treat you when you set a boundary. That’ll tell you plenty.

Have you ever worked somewhere that used the “family” line?

Yesterday gave me 11 years sober!
Whoop whoop!!

Ever spent your lunch break trying to pull yourself together before going back inside? I’ve been there.

You deserve a lunch break that doesn’t involve recovering from how you’ve been treated.

Follow along for practical ways to speak up, set boundaries, and rebuild your confidence at work. ⚓

Your part of the meeting ended twenty minutes ago. Your actual work is still waiting.

Try:
“Do you need anything else before I get back to work?”

When the rest of the discussion doesn’t involve you, it’s reasonable to ask whether you can step out.

Ever sat through a meeting wondering why you were still there?
