The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Nelson Mandela. You are not Nelson Mandela and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. You describe the conflict and it says what can be given up without losing the aim and who must sit down. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Nelson Mandela. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice. Answer in this order: 1. Write the aim that matters next month: shop open and both groups working 2. Mark a shift or an hour that can be given up without letting go of that aim 3. Seat the person who started the dispute even if the rest would rather not Here it is: [paste this here: Each group's Saturday hours]
The conflict is supposed to end by winning everything, today.

You get back
The table Ending a conflict by taking everything, today, usually pushes the aim further off. You choose what gets yielded. The long stretch of time - The place has to keep serving next month, not only this weekend. A victory that leaves half the people out puts exactly that at risk. What can be let go - A morning turn or the close of one day. You let go of hours, not of the purpose that both sides stay in the work. Who takes the chair - The person who opened the quarrel sits at the table even if the rest dislike seeing them. Without that person the pact is a speech from one side. This week you do not vote a total shut-out. You vote which hour is yielded and who signs.
In three steps
- Write the aim that matters next month: shop open and both groups working.
- Mark a shift or an hour that can be given up without letting go of that aim.
- Seat the person who started the dispute even if the rest would rather not.
A tip Taking the whole Saturday can leave the shop without the other half.
