Why create an issue where there isn't any?
We all struggle with the urge to procrastinate on every single thing we need to do. We don't want to clean our house, we have no desire to fold the laundry, and don't get us started on tasks at work. We refuse to believe there is a single person out there who is always completing their tasks on time without a drop of procrastination in their bones. It is simply human nature, and you will not convince us otherwise.
That said, adult life has proven to us that procrastination usually leads to more complications, especially in the workplace. If you have a task due in two weeks, it's perfectly normal to stall it for a few days, but once it gets closer to the deadline, it would not do anyone any good if you hold it off any longer. Better to get it over with than start looking for excuses to tell your supervisors, especially since most of the tasks we tend to ignore are ones that can take just a few minutes to complete. As great minds once said: just do it.
The task that the boss below refused to complete is a very simple one: she needed to pay for an employee's quality certification after they completed a course that was vital for the job they were doing. Without this certification, the job simply couldn't be done. We don't know if she procrastinated or if there was another reason why she refused to pay, but the employee didn't want to fight her on it. They knew that sooner or later she would be met with the consequences of her lack of responsibility.
A few weeks after the boss failed to pay, an external auditor arrived and asked about the missing diploma. Luckily, the employee had all the proof they needed to show that the reason why the certification was not in their hands was because of the boss…
