2) “I’ll get to it when I can”. – Avoid indicating to someone that their project is unimportant.
3) “I can do it better alone.” – This makes you look more like a poor team player than a self-sufficient employee.
4) “I did it.” – Always be a team player and give credit where credit is due.
5) “The way I’ve always done it works just fine.” – The workplace is constantly changing – there is no room for resistance to that change.
