Here are a few career-damaging statements to avoid.
下面有些可能對職業(yè)造成損害的話語要記得避免。
1. At 8 a.m. Monday morning, walking into the office
1. 周一早上8點(diǎn)，走進(jìn)辦公室
Don’t say: “Before you settle in, I need to talk to you about the presentation.”
不能這樣說：“在你坐下來前，我想跟你談?wù)剷h展示的事情。”
Why it’s a problem: Is the presentation an actual fire that needs to be put out or just something that’s on your mind at that moment? People are still transitioning from the weekend. You may be catching someone unprepared, or she may have other critical deadlines that need her immediate attention.
問題出現(xiàn)在哪里：會議展示真的那么重要得馬上討論出方案嗎，還是只是你當(dāng)時心里有一些想法?人們還在周末假期調(diào)整過來。也許你發(fā)現(xiàn)有的同事沒有做好準(zhǔn)備，或者她有其他關(guān)鍵的最后時期事情需要她當(dāng)即關(guān)注。
Say instead: “Hope you had a great weekend! Let me know when you have time today to talk about the presentation.”
應(yīng)該這樣說：“希望過了一個愉快的周末哦!請讓我知道今天你何時有空能一起聊聊會議展示的事情�！�
2. During a major meeting
2.重要會議的過程中
Don’t say: “I don’t have the numbers today because the intern didn’t give them to me.”
不能這樣說：“今天我沒拿到數(shù)據(jù)因?yàn)槟莻�實(shí)習(xí)生沒有把數(shù)據(jù)遞交給我。”
Why it’s a problem: It doesn’t matter if the intern really did screw up—it looks like you’re throwing the blame on someone else. Which makes you seem like you’re not accountable, and it makes your colleagues wonder if they’ll be looking at the undercarriage of the bus next.
問題出現(xiàn)在哪里：實(shí)習(xí)生是否搞砸了并不重要——這樣看起來像是你在把責(zé)任推卸到別人的身上。這樣會讓你看起來不可靠，還會讓你的同事思考他們是否就會看到拖后腿的人了。
Say instead: “I don’t have the numbers right now, but I’m working with the intern to get them as soon as possible.”
應(yīng)該這樣說：“當(dāng)前我的手頭上沒有數(shù)據(jù)，不過我正跟實(shí)習(xí)生溝通盡快拿到數(shù)據(jù)�！�
