It is easy to suspect that these people are actually making our life harder on purpose. But for the sake of your own peace of mind, it is better not to let these thoughts get you all worked up.

如何应对：

Well, there is always a polite way to say "no" and offer a constructive¹ solution. However, if you feel that the project is urgent, take the initiative² to help your team or your company out. It's give and take.

好吧，总有一种礼貌的方式来说"不"，然后提出一个有建设性的解决方法。然而，如果你感到这个项目比较紧急，那么就积极主动地帮助你的团队或者公司。互相迁就一下。

Today you will stay after work to finish the project and next time your boss may be equally understanding if you have to leave work early.

今天你在下班后留下来完成项目。下一次，如果你不得不提前下班，你的老板或许也会同样理解你并做出让步。
