I'm not sure why anyone in their right mind would say these things but people have said them. And I'm just left there thinking "WHY!?!"
1. I'm broke\in debt\close to being bankrupt. (your financial concerns are your own buddy.I don't care. I have my own finances to worry about.)
2. I'm only doing this job for the money. (NO shit! me too! but I'm not ever saying that and you shouldn't either.)
3. I partied SO hard last night. (so?!? take an ibuprofen, or an alka seltzer; but, damn it! get your part of the work done. The only one going down if we miss the deadline is you and I'm gonna make it known it was you and not me who slacked off!)
4. It's not my fault. ( that's just lame. If its really not your fault say "lets get to the bottom of this" or say "so how can we fix this?" Don't try to shrug off responsibility, thats just lazy.)
5. I'm bored. ( really? then why don't you ask me if i have some work i can delegate to you. don't just sit there on your ass.)
6. I can't work with him\her. (what are you 5? buck up and get the job done.)
7. Roll your eyes\ Sigh\Grimace. (didn't your mama teach you any manners?)
8. Do it yourself. (this isn't home depot or ikea. I shouldn't even have to explain why you should never say this.)
Honestly, Ive heard people around at work say and do these things. Please don't say or do any of the above. Never before in the history of saying has a saying more aptly been used: "Please think before you speak or leap."
9. Nice tush. (Incredibly inappropriate and, frankly, sexist.
ReplyDeletelol.. yes i would refrain from saying that..
