Parting Shot: 7 things to never say to your boss

Everyone has a boss. Even if you “work for yourself,” you’re still an employee to your client.

A big part of maintaining the boss-employee relationship is to never allow a boss to think you dislike your work, are incapable of doing it, or—worse—consider it beneath you.

These sound like no-brainers, but many statements heard commonly around the workplace violate these basic rules. Looking for an example? Here are seven heard in workplaces all the time,

“That’s not my job.” “It’s not my problem.” “It’s not my fault.” “I can only do one thing at a time.” “I am way overqualified for this job.” ” This job is easy! Anyone could do it!” “It can’t be done.” Full story. Karen Burns.

Have you ever said any of these things to a boss or had them said to you by an employee?
