Reporting your colleagues for being curt is also career suicide.

Reporting 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.
