Don't enjoy working under pressure?

The cliffhanger boss likes to wait until the last possible moment to deliver a finished project. He thrives under deadline pressure and will create that pressure if it isn't there already.

Workaround tips: Prep work is key. Do what you can to minimize the effect the looming crisis will have on you.

For example, prepare for the coming "crunch by gathering necessary documents, making preliminary phone calls, etc. Try to leave open time to devote to the crisis when it erupts. It might get you home earlier.
