1. Don't take responsibility for your mistakes.

　　Reasonable bosses know that no one is perfect and that mistakes will sometimes happen. What they care about is how you follow up on a mistake. If you make excuses, get defensive, or deny responsibility, your boss won't trust that you understand why the mistake happened in the first place and what you need to do to prevent it in the future.

　　對犯下的錯不負責任

　　理性的老板都知道沒有人能不犯錯。他們關注的是你怎樣對待錯誤。如果你找借口、為自己辯解或者推脫責任，他們就沒有理由相信你知道錯誤的原因和怎樣避免再次犯錯。

　　2. Be too sensitive to take feedback calmly.

　　If you routinely get upset, offended, or angry when your boss gives you feedback on your work, you're making it hard (and painful) for your boss to do her job. Worse yet, she might start avoiding giving you important feedback that you need to hear.

　　對反饋太敏感

　　如果你總是對老板給你的工作反饋表示不爽甚至生氣，你就是在為難老板。更糟糕的是，他有可能開始不再給你反饋。而事實上，那些反饋對你很重要。

　　3. Don’t take notes during a discussion of work that you'll be doing.

　　When you're having a nuanced discussion of a project, your boss wants to see that you're capturing the details.

　　討論工作的時候不做筆記

　　當你參與一項工作的詳細討論時，老板希望看到你不放過任何一個細節。

　　4. Guess instead of finding out an answer for sure.

　　Guessing means that some of the time, you'll be giving out wrong information. Your boss will be making decisions or taking actions based on the information you provide, so it needs to be right.

　　猜測而不是尋找確定的答案

　　猜測意味著你給出的信息可能有誤。而老板需要根據你提供的信息做出正確的決策。

　　5. Don't disclose your biases.

　　It's fine to have biases; we all do. But if you hide your agenda or biases from your boss and she eventually finds out, you'll have destroyed your credibility with her.

　　掩蓋自己的偏見

　　我們每個人都會有偏見。但是如果你在老板面前掩蓋自己的偏見，而最后又被揭穿，你就是自毀信譽。

　　6. Regularly vent about your frustrations without bringing them to your manager.

　　Everyone vents about their job (or their boss) sometimes. But if you find yourself routinely complaining to other people, it's time to either talk to your manager or start keeping it to yourself.

　　經常抱怨卻不告訴老板

　　每個人都會抱怨自己的工作(或者老板)。但是如果你發現自己已經抱怨成習慣，是時候要么向老板反饋，要么閉嘴了
