25 things you should never say to your coworkers
Getting along with your coworkers is a beautiful thing. It can make your workday less dreary, help you focus better, and make you more productive.
But according to Rosalinda Oropeza Randall, anetiquette and civility expert and the author of "Don't Burp in the Boardroom," your chummy coworker relationship can become problematic when you don't keep it professional.
From unprofessional, awkward, or impolite remarks to harassing comments, there are a lot of things you shouldn't say that could turn a work relationship ugly or even get you fired.
"In conversation, use a little common sense and discretion, especially when there are others present," Randall suggests. "The general guideline is that if you wouldn't say it in front of your boss, don't say it."
