上班遲到是對你而言很麻煩但卻是老板們的特權之一。告訴老板他們遲到了可能被看成你在藐視他們的地位。

6. Ooh, ugly tie! 哦，難看的領帶！

There may be times that your boss wears the ugliest tie on earth but it is not your place to tell them. They are aware how they dress and maybe the tie was a gift that they couldn't say no to wearing. Or maybe they just have bad taste, but that is their privilege.

也許有些時候你的老板戴了世界上最丑的領帶，但是這并不是你應該告訴他們的。他們知道自己穿衣服的風格，也許這個領帶是一個他們不能不戴的禮物。或者他們只是有很差的品味，但那是他們的特權。

7. I hit your car. 我把你的車撞了！

Yes, it could happen that you bumped your boss' car in the parking lot. It's only right that you tell them what you did but it's still not the greatest thing to tell your boss.

當然，在停車場把你老板的車撞了是可能發生的。你告訴他們是你干的是正確的，但是這還不是你最應該告訴老板的事情。

8. Who's the guy I saw your wife with at the bar last night? 昨天晚上在酒吧里和你太太在一起的那個男的是誰啊？

This is one of those things that you really don't want to get involved with. If you tell your boss and then his wife proves you wrong, that could be the beginning of the end for you.

這是你最不該摻和進去的事情之一。如果你告訴你的老板了，而她的太太又證實了那不是真的，那么也許這將是你完蛋的開始。

9. How much do you make a year? 你一年掙多少錢啊？

We all would love to know the truth about that one, and maybe some bosses are free to discuss it. But generally, it's a big no, no.

我們都想去知道這個問題的答案，也許有些老板并不介意去討論它。但是總體來說，這是一個很不合適的問題。

10. Can I have another raise? 能不能再給我漲一次工資？

Most companies have a set program for raises and you need to understand that plan so that you don't look foolish and ask for a raise out of turn. If you feel you're entitled then make sure you do a bit of research and find out the best time to ask.

大多數公司關于漲薪有自己的一套程序，你要了解這個程序，以至于自己不會很傻地要求額外的漲薪。如果你覺得自己有漲薪的資格，那么要確保做一些調查，然后找出最合適的時機提出要求。
