You may have to re-think an offer or proposal if there’s another delay because those false starts are starting to cost.
You’d rather settle a matter in-house, but that doesn’t look possible. Seek the advice of an impartial third party.
It’s understandable that you would want to tune out the constant complaining, but be careful or you could ignore a legitimate gripe.
Fears are allayed, but do something more proactive about managing anxieties before worst-case scenarios turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.
It’s up to you to break the ice. If you don’t, then you and the other party will never settle your differences.
When you focus too much on what’s wrong, you forget about what’s right. Heed a co-worker’s advice and stop making more work for yourself.
