想被炒魷魚？在老闆面前絕不能提的事
We've talked about qualities that will impress your boss, but sometimes the ones that don't impress her are just as important. The fate of your career rests in your boss's hands, so tread carefully and read on for six things she doesn't want to hear.
我們已經討論過能打動老闆的品質，但有時不打動她的品質也同樣重要。你職業生涯的命運掌握在老闆手中，所以做事要小心些，看看下面她不想聽到的6件事。
Discussing Your Co-Workers' Salaries
議論同事的工資
Finding out a co-worker makes more than you never feels good, even if there are valid reasons behind the discrepancy. But no matter how you found out or how it makes you feel, bringing up your co-workers' pay to your boss is definitely off-limits — it's unprofessional and will put your boss in an awkward position. If you want to use that information to negotiate a higher salary, use or a similar site to find out the industry standard and present that to your boss instead.
發現同事比你工資高的感覺肯定不好，即使工資差異的背後有正當原因。但不管你是怎麼發現又是怎麼想的，絕對不能跟老闆提同事工資——這很不專業，你的老闆也會很尷尬。如果你想利用這些信息商量漲薪，去相關網站查行業工資標準，把找到的結果給你老闆看。
Claiming a Task Is Impossible
完不成某個任務
It's important to let your boss know if your workload or a project is seeming unmanageable, but approach it carefully. In one office where I worked, the administrative assistant told our boss that her job was impossible and unreasonable. The problem was, several other people had already held that exact position and had performed it with no problem. So instead of getting support and a lightened workload, the assistant got replaced with someone who could get the job done.
讓老闆知道工作或項目做不完很有必要，但說的時候要注意措辭。我以前的公司有個行政助理，她跟老闆說她的工作量不合理也不可能完成。問題是其他和她職位相同的人做一樣的工作，他們都完成的很好。所以公司沒幫她減輕工作量，而是換了個能把事情做好的人代替她的工作。
Implying You Have One Foot Out the Door
暗示在找下家
It's courteous to give your boss plenty of notice when you’re looking for a new job, but there's a fine line. If you're actively interviewing and your departure is imminent, by all means, fill her in. If you've just decided you want to move on and are starting to check out job listings, stay quiet. Your job search may take longer than you think or you might change your mind, and once you tell your boss you're on your way out, she won’t view you or your commitment to the job the same way.
你找新工作時知會下老闆是禮貌，但要注意時機。如果你面了好幾家公司馬上就要走了，一定要告訴老闆。如果你只是決定跳槽，剛開始找合適職位的話，還是先別聲張爲妙。你找工作的時間可能比預計的更長，你也可能會改主意，一旦你告訴老闆要離開，她會覺得你對工作只是敷衍了事。Listing Things the Company Should Be Doing Differently
列舉公司可以改進的地方
If your boss asks for this kind of feedback, by all means give it to her — tactfully and constructively, of course. And scheduling a meeting with your boss to discuss concerns is valid, too. But offhanded criticisms of the company with no real solutions behind them will only serve to make you look unprofessional and uncommitted.
如果你的老闆要類似的反饋，務必要給她——當然內容要經過仔細思考以及有建設性。而且要和老闆開會說明你的想法是有道理的。批評公司還不提供解決方案只會讓你看起來不專業不忠心。
Giving an Ultimatum
放狠話威脅公司
Threatening to leave if you don't get that raise or promotion may seem like a great bargaining chip, but this move is more likely to backfire than not. Your boss may tell you that what you're asking for simply isn't possible, in which case you're forced to either follow through with your threat or eat crow.
威脅公司如果不加薪或者不升職就辭職看起來是很好的協商籌碼，但此舉很可能適得其反。老闆會告訴你，你的要求不可能被滿足，在這種情況下，你不得不自食其果，收拾包袱走人或留下來顏面盡失。
Oversharing About Your Personal Life
分享太多私事
Letting your boss in on some of the details of your personal life is a wise decision — it makes for a more comfortable work environment and may make her more understanding of your personal commitments. But don't overdo it; your boss doesn't need to know that you’re exhausted because you were up late fighting with your boyfriend, or that your hangover is making you unproductive. Too much information is unprofessional and can start to sound like made-up excuses.
讓老闆知道你個人生活的一些細節是明智的——它能讓工作環境更融洽，她也會更瞭解你的做事緣由。但不要做過了，你的老闆不需要知道你上班遲到是因爲昨晚和男朋友的夜生活太精彩，效率低下是因爲酒還沒醒。說太多顯得你不專業，而且聽起來像是編出來的藉口。
