I think the bad version of this advice causes a lot of frustration. The lunch break version is even more interesting.

I would not call it wrong, just incomplete. For me it came down to the tiny repair. The spreadsheet should include the emotional cost too.

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Madrid? This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. Good managers make this conversation so much less weird.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

I found this disappointing because it skips the hardest part. The Toronto example makes it feel concrete. The hidden expense is usually time.

Honestly, great taste. I learned that one the expensive way.

Honestly, great taste. The ambitious constraint is probably the real story.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. Good managers make this conversation so much less weird.

Can you share what you tried before this? It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a family dinner.

This feels like advice from a patient friend. The weekend version is even more interesting.

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar.
