A good relationship with work colleagues is important for the working atmosphere. If you want to contribute to the positive atmosphere, avoid these five sentences.

A study by the Bonn Institute on the Future of Work has shown that the productivity of poorly performing colleagues increases by ten percent when they are placed in the immediate vicinity of their friends. In addition to better career opportunities, friendly relationships at work can also provide you with support and help. To ensure that this is successful and that you do not make yourself unpopular, you should avoid using the following five sentences in your everyday working life: “NO PROBLEM” “I HAVE AN IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT’ “STUPIDION” If you start a sentence or question with this phrase, you automatically diminish the impact of what you are trying to say. You can also come across as arrogant because others will think they see themselves as more important. “Try to be the colleague you would like to have,” advises the job portal Kununu.
