A person spends a lot of time at work. After all, their use is a direct path to the lack of career growth.
10. "Do you understand what I said?"
Many small bosses, deputy deputies and ordinary people who like to show their exclusivity to colleagues like to use this phrase. It seems to them that she gives them significance in the eyes of others. But it sounds like this: "I myself do not understand what is at stake, but you must do it." It is as if he doubts the words spoken, or really does not understand what and how to do. If you want to show your importance to colleagues, use other phrases. Say: "If you do not understand something, you can ask questions." Then others will be confident in your competence.
9. "I feel that ..."
This phrase is not suitable for the work environment. No one asks you about your feelings and feelings. Of course, if you are not a psychic. Your boss is only interested in facts and figures, colleagues too. Information based on feelings is often unreliable. You can say that you feel that the new client will not pay the payment on time or your colleague’s project will fail. Only no one will take you seriously. Say that the client works at a loss, and the project will cause damage to the company. Yes, and do not forget to back up this information with specific numbers.
8. “I apologize”
This phrase is too personal. Never pronounce it at work. You can kneel and ask for forgiveness, but most likely, after such a trick you will be fired. Do not be overly emotional. This is work, there is no place for feelings. Many people absolutely do not care what happened to you, you were sick, your cat gave birth or you were flooded by neighbors. The boss needs a result, not your cries, tears. If you do not have time, promise that you will correct the situation. Do not go into details.
7. “This company sucks”
This is the most commonly used phrase. Many do not like their work, go there only because of wages. Even if you hate the company in which you work, keep your opinion to yourself, otherwise you will never be promoted. Moreover, if the boss finds out that you are throwing mud at your employer, you will have problems. You can say this phrase in one case: when you get labor in the personnel department. But this will be a sign of bad taste. You got here, worked here. You should be grateful for the experience and money. By the way, if you speak badly about all the companies in which you are fortunate enough to work, new employers will look at you with suspicion.
6. "I feel so bad after yesterday ..."
Even if you had a drink yesterday with the most powerful person in your city, don’t tell anyone about it. People who can afford to drink when they need to go to work the next day do not inspire confidence. You will not be respected, an opinion will be formed about you as a bad employee. Do not expect colleagues to help you. Everyone has their own concerns and your well-being does not interest anyone. Therefore, even if you walked well the day before, do not tell anyone. And also be prepared to perform your duties efficiently or at least pretend.
5. "Anyway, nothing will work out"
Saying these words, you confess your impotence. The manager will definitely not like it. You were hired to do your job, to solve certain tasks. Look for a solution to the problem. Do not be afraid to deviate from the standards. Perhaps you will come up with something new. Before you bring your idea to life, consult with your boss. If you understand that you can’t do the work, confess to the leader. No need to deceive him, promise that tomorrow you will finish everything. The work will not be completed, and they will think about you even worse than if they admitted that it was "too tough for you."
4. "Sorry, but ..."
Some people use this phrase to attract attention. They do not understand that she puts them below the interlocutor. If you haven’t done anything wrong, then why apologize? If you want to ask for something, start talking without preamble. Moreover, one cannot use these words when a person speaks out. You interrupt him, question his words. Do not think that this phrase allows you everything: distract the boss from talking on the phone, interrupt the conversation of colleagues. Wait until they are free and then start a conversation. And leave “sorry” for those situations when there will be something to apologize for.
3. “You should have ...” / “You should have ...”
If something went wrong, never say that phrase. Your colleague, therefore, does not feel very well, so do not add fuel to the fire. If you say: “I told you. It was necessary to listen to me, ”you will spoil a person’s mood even more. His attitude towards you will change for the worse. Soon everyone in the team will think of you as "too smart." If you want to help, suggest the next time do something different. Nothing can be fixed now, but it can be done so that in the future this does not happen again.
2. “This is work, not a place for fun”
All people are different. They have different attitudes towards their work. For you, a normal working environment is a clean table where everything is laid out in places of silence. Your colleague, on the contrary, prefers creative mess, music, jokes and flirting. No need to teach him how to work. Perhaps he needs such conditions. He loves his job, loves communication. At the same time, it can work no worse than you. Do not make comments to colleagues. Of course, if they do not interfere with your duties. They are adults and behave as they see fit.
1. “They don’t pay me for it”
And finally - a catchphrase. You must have said it more than once. There are few such people who did not dismiss additional duties or requests in this way. No, we do not urge you to agree to all requests. If it does not bother you, help. If you do not have time for this, politely refuse. Say that you are busy in the near future. You work in a team, so do not spoil relationships with others. Moreover, do not say these words to the boss. He will think of you as a person who will not make unnecessary movement without additional payment. Such people are usually not promoted. Still, if you want your career to be successful, get ready to sacrifice your personal time.
