Is it ever okay to say "No" to your manager?

If you mean NO, you must say NO - that's how simple it is to say it to your manager! :-)

This Situation can be handled in the following way:

1-Situation: You Truly Don't Have the Time

Instead of: There’s no way I have time for that.

Try: Could you help me prioritize my project list?

2-Situation: You Disagree With the Strategy at Hand

Instead of: I don’t think that will work.

Say: Can I throw out another idea?

3-Situation: You Just Don't Want To

Instead of: Ugh. No.

Say: Sure (Usually)

No,

Before saying NO, you should

• Think weigh your decision "weigh the FOR and the COUNTER"
• Learning by Heart and Stroke
• Knowing hierarchical or authoritative links
• Avoid making a mistake
• Knowing how to manage your own work
• Differentiating between a written order and a verbal order
• Evaluate the character of the order "urgent, special, general interest, express,
• Know your job well, your tasks, your limits and your responsibility
• Know your rights and obligations
• Never say NO just to contradict the manager
• Have good reasons to say NO
• Assess the impact of your refusal on work
• Know that if you say NO and you are wrong, you are guilty of professional misconduct and liable to severe penalties
• Know when to say NO and when it should not
• Know when refusal is considered professional misconduct
• Know if there is a professional risk
• Whether this is a correct or incorrect operation
• If the order falls within the framework of the application of the regulations

Yes, it’s okay to say “No” when you are asked to do something illegal, something immoral, something that violate the company's policies, something that is outside your job description, or something that make you uncomfortable.

 

YES, WHERE THE ISSUE IS AGAINST THE ETHICS AND PRACTICE OF THE PROFESSION AND WHERE THE INTEREST AND NAME OF THE COMPANY COULD BE IN QUESTION.
