Oh god not this again. I'm not sure if this is just ripped off or if this is another person encouraging others to commit career and / or social suicide. To be blunt if you do this to me in the workplace and you are my direct report you will get a verbal warning. If you do it repeatedly you will get fired. If you are a colleague and you do this I will report you, and will never help you. If you do this to me and I know you socially I will no longer want to spend any time with you.
Edit: article this strongly reminds me of that is also terrible advice. https://erikvancraddock.com/2022/01/dont-explain/ https://erikvancraddock.com/2022/01/dont-explain/
- toomanybeersies 5y agoReporting your colleagues for being curt is also career suicide.
- r_hoods_ghost 5y agoThis is not being curt though. This is deliberately ignoring social conventions in the workplace, consciously withholding information from your colleagues. If I ask you to do something as your boss I expect you to either of it or give ma reason as to why you can't do it. I may tell you to do it anyway. If you are a colleague and I ask you for help I expect you to either help, because I wouldn't ask you to help otherwise and I am probably asking you to do something that is literally your job to do, or I expect you to give me a good reason as to why you can't do what I am asking you to do. If you just say no then I am going to assume that you are literally refusing to do your job in which case you are a problem and I would rather I not have to work with you. As a manager if I get told that one of my direct reports has refused to do something without giving a reason that person is getting a serious talking to and if they do it again then HR is getting involved. Seriously. Don't do this.
