What Not to Say in the Workplace [image: What Not to Say in the Workplace]


*Don't Say:* "That's not my job."
*Why:* If your superior asks you to do something, it is your job.
*Instead Say:* "I'm not sure that should be my priority right now." Then
have a conversation with your boss about your responsibilities.

*Don't Say:* "This might sound stupid, but…"
*Why:* Never undermine your ideas by prefacing your remarks with wishy-washy
language.
*Instead Say:* What's on your mind. It reinforces your credibility to
present your ideas with confidence.

*Don't Say:* "I don't have time to talk to you."
*Why:* It's plain rude, in person or on the phone.
*Instead Say:* "I'm just finishing something up right now. Can I come by
when I've completed this?" Graciously explain why you can't talk now, and
suggest catching up at an appointed time later. Let phone calls go to voice
mail until you can give callers your undivided attention.
