Never use the phrase 'not true' at work but rather use 'not correct'. Most employees are fond of counteracting their bosses with 'not true' instead of 'not correct'. |

Attitudinal change is what makes the difference. Don't imitate a character, rather acquire it. |

I was interviewing with one company 2 years ago and I used 'guys' for executive management of my then current company. I said something like: " No doubt, the guys (the executive management of my company) are trying, doing a good job, but ....." One of the interviewers asked 'who are the guys?' and I told her I was referring to the executive management of my then current company. She told me you don't use guys for your employers. I knew for sure, but was so used to guys. Similarly, when I was having final chat with that company in 2008 and I met the then COO. Where I meant to say 'yes', I said 'yeah'. She corrected me that I should not use yeah for her again. Needless to say it didn't reach 2 minutes before I answered yeah again . She knew my case was irredeemable, and didn't bother to correct me again. I thought she would annoyingly gave me bad rating, but she still passed me sha and I got the job |

Things you should never say at work: 1. Never tell your boss you want to be lovers. He might accept and then make you work for free. 2. Never ask your colleague "excuse me did you just fart?" What do you expect him/her to say? 3. Never tell an ugly client the truth about his/her looks. They might report you to your boss who might laugh at them and cause them to take their business to another company. Apart from these ones, you can say anything else and be rest assured that if anyone attacks you for doing so you can come and report them to me. 1 Like |

One of the few times Bluetooth has posted something noteworthy... Thanks Although, I'm guilty of a few (about four of those) but working on it. As for the "you guys" part, I've totally gotten rid of those words, and addressed people by names or title |

Good to read but impractical. If you feel you have to strictly follow these rules then you're probably in the wrong workplace, or maybe just joined. In general the communication culture in any specific workplace would dictate the appropriate language to use there. 1 Like |
