“You know, I love what a great negotiator you are. Some people get paid a lot to do what you do so naturally. But sometimes it’s exhausting for me, and it’s especially hard when we are crunched for time or when there’s a lot going on. I’d be grateful if when I need you to, you could go with the flow, without the need for a discussion. If you can do that, it will help the morning run more smoothly and I will acknowledge that you’ve really helped out.”
