你會和老闆聊天嗎？和老闆聊天，有種“伴君如伴虎”的微妙感，聊得high了，你就成了老闆的自己人，以後順風順水，萬事不愁；聊崩了，你就“求生不得求死不能”了。和老闆聊天不能說的六大話題，助你成功避開聊天陷阱！
同事的工資
1.Discussing Your Co-Workers' Salaries
同事的工資
Finding out a co-worker makes more than you never feels good, even if there are validreasons 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 definitelyoff-limits —it’s unprofessionaland will put your boss in an awkwardposition. If you want to use that information to negotiatea higher salary, use Salary.com or a similar site to find out the industry standard and present that to your boss instead.
即使你的同事的確工作出色、能力過硬，但是發現你的薪水沒有別人高，你肯定不會好受。不管你是怎麼看待這件事的，把它拿到老闆面前去說，是絕對不可以的。這會讓你顯得缺乏職業素養，還會讓你的老闆感到尷尬。如果你想要和老闆談加薪的問題，那就去網上查查看你所處的行業的平均薪酬待遇，然後拿這個數據去跟老闆談，而不是拿同事的工資水準去要挾老闆。
2.Claiming a Task Is Impossible
不可能完成的任務
It’s important to let your boss know if your workloador a project is seeming unmanageable, but approach it carefully. There was one story: 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.
讓老闆知道你的工作負擔過重或者某項任務完成起來有困難，這是非常重要的，但也是很需要技巧的。舉個例子，有位行政助理向老闆抱怨說自己的工作不合理，也不可能完成。但問題是，她的前幾任都有辦法完成這些“不可能完成的任務”。於是，這位行政助理不但沒有得到老闆的支援而減輕工作負擔，反而被炒了魷魚，因為老闆總可以找到能完成這些工作的人。
3.Implying You Have One Foot Out the Door
暗示老闆你要跳槽
It's courteousto give your boss plenty of notice when you’re looking for a new job, but there’s a fine line. 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, your boss won’t view you or your commitmentto the job the same way again.
如果你要跳槽，提前給老闆提個醒是種禮貌的做法，但是也要有個限度。如果你剛下定決心，才開始瀏覽招聘資訊，那就悄悄地進行。你的跳槽之路可能比你想得要花更長的時間，你也有可能突然想通了，改主意了。不過，一旦你跟老闆攤牌了，你就沒有轉圜的餘地了，你會發現，老闆對你的態度肯定是不一樣的了。
4.Listing Things the Company Should Be Doing Differently
這些公司需要改
If your boss asks for this kind of feedback, by all means give it to her —tactfullyand constructively, of course. But offhandedcriticisms of the company with no real solutions behind them will only serve to make you look unprofessional and uncommitted.
如果你的老闆向你要這方面的反饋，那你要有技巧地給她一些有建設性的改進意見。但是完全沒有準備的給公司亂提意見，卻沒有提出任何解決方案，這種做法不僅不專業，而且站不住腳。
5.Giving an Ultimatum
給老闆下最後通牒
Threatening to leave if you don’t get that raise or promotionmay seem like a great bargainingchip, but this move is more likely to backfirethan 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.
威脅老闆如果不給你加薪或升職，你就走人！這種討價還價看起來很有震懾力，但很有可能會引火上身。你的老闆很有可能回答你，你提的要求做不到。這種情況下，你要不就實踐你的諾言，收拾東西走人；要不你就只能忍氣吞聲，接著幹。
6.Oversharing About Your Personal Life
過多地討論家務事
Letting your boss in on some of the details of your personal life is a wise decision —it makes for a more comfortablework 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 exhaustedbecause you were up late fighting with your boyfriend, or that your hangoveris making you unproductive. Too much information is unprofessional, and can start to sound like made-up excuses.
適當地與老闆分享你的私生活是明智之舉，這樣可以讓工作環境更融洽，也可以讓老闆切實了解到你的個人情況。但是，過猶不及。你沒有必要告訴老闆：你最近精力不濟是因為在跟男友吵架，或者你效率低下是因為昨夜宿醉未醒。說太多自己的私事會讓你變得不專業，而且聽起來好像是在找藉口。
