"Productive communication and teamwork requires that we respond, rather than react."

I argue if you're too lazy to do both at nearly concurrent times then you might not be suited for that line of work.

I have no problems handling upwards of 10 concurrent 'lines' (aka customer input or manufacturer input issues) on my own. Systems for this exist. Learn about them and use them, or fall by the wayside. These complaints are the complaints of those from the 90s.

This comment would have been more useful if you had mentioned some of these systems so we would know what to learn about.
