Did I Say That?

Phrases You Should Never Say at Work.

You’ve probably heard someone say, “Think before you speak.” It’s a good idea to do this all the time, but it’s especially important at work. If you say the wrong things in the workplace, you might get on a coworker or manager’s bad side. It’s all a matter of phrasing. You might say something in an effort to help, but if you aren’t careful with your wording, you may sound rude in the process. For example, if you tell a coworker, “That’s not my problem,” they may feel dismissed. Instead, you can give your coworker an idea of who they should speak with.
