• 7 Things Never to Say to Your Boss
   
  By Karen Burns
  
  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. They may seem ordinary, even harmless. But try reading these from your boss's point of view. You'll see right away why it's smart to never allow these seven sentences to pass your lips:
  
  - "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."
