There are 4 things you should never say at work. These four things could cause an employee to recieve a query from their employer if they do them.
1. "I don't think that's fair."
It's important to address any concerns or issues you have with your employer in a respectful and professional manner. Saying "I don't think that's fair" can come across as confrontational or argumentative, and may not be the most effective way to address a concern or issue.
2. "That's not my job."
While it's important to understand your job responsibilities and boundaries, it's also important to be flexible and willing to help out where needed. Saying "that's not my job" can come across as uncooperative and may not be well received by your employer.
3. "I'm not going to do that."
As an employee, it's important to follow the instructions and guidance provided by your employer. Refusing to do something that has been requested of you can create tension and may not be viewed favorably.
4. "I can't work with [coworker]."
It's important to maintain a professional and respectful relationship with all of your coworkers, even if you don't always get along with them. If you have issues with a specific coworker, it's important to address those issues in a constructive and professional manner, rather than making negative statements about them to your employer. In the end, employees must find ways to improve their relationships amongst coworkers, and also with their employers. This is one of the best ways to foster a healthy work environment.
