Yes, that's true, though I think being a professional also includes the option of saying "no" (on how you say it, that's another question).

- greenyoda 15y agoNo, you can only say "no" if you're a self-employed professional like a doctor or lawyer or consultant with his own practice. Then you have the choice of whether to take on a potential client or not. However, a professional who works for someone else has to take on their employer's priorities. That's the deal you sign up for when you become an employee; that's what you give up for a regular monthly paycheck. If you're very valuable to your employer, you might be able to get away with saying "no". But most people are not indispensable, and if you say "no" too many times, your employer will start looking for ways to replace you.
