Uttering these phrases can hobble your career
Effective communication with your boss is critical to career development, writes Jessica Miller-Merrell, the founder of Workology, who offers ten phrases to avoid, like "I don't know" without a follow-up plan or "It's not fair," which can seem unprofessional, or "that's impossible," that can earn you a reputation as a pessimist. "Demonstrating a proactive, solution-oriented mindset will impress your boss far more than negativity," Miller-Merrell notes.

Put it into practice: Telling your boss that something isn't your job or that you're overqualified for a project they want you to do conveys a sense of entitlement and paints you as someone who isn't a team player, Miller-Merrell observes. "Flexibility and a willingness to learn new things can go a long way toward showing your value to the organization."
