Listen again and complete the sentences
- Mike: Oh, I've tried talking to her, but she just deflects and starts playing the ____ . She's always pointing the finger at me when minor errors happen, and honestly, the tension in the team is getting impossible to manage. It's creating a complete silo in our department.
- Alex: It sounds like a textbook turf war. You need to find some ____ to clear the air, maybe with your HR manager mediating between you both before things escalate further. Don't let it ruin your career there.
- Nicole: Well, I try to stay professional, but honestly, he's always bickering over tiny details, and my ____ is when someone starts acting like a micromanager about every single slide in the presentation. I mean, I actually did all the heavy lifting on our last client pitch, and he acted like I was just helping out with the formatting!
