How to politely say "That's none of your business" at work. We've all been there. Someone asks about your salary, pries into a confidential project, or wants details about a conversation they weren't part of. Here's how to shut it down gracefully: → "I'm keeping that tight to who it concerns directly." Says: This isn't open-access information. → "I stay out of conversations that aren't mine to lead." Says: That's not yours to know, and I'm not making it available. → "I'm not in a position to repeat that." Says: You're not in the loop—and I'm not looping you in. → "That one's staying off the record." Says: Let's move on, respectfully. Why these work: They're firm but professional. They don't invite follow-up questions. They position you as someone who respects confidentiality. You don't owe anyone access to information just because they asked. Protecting confidential details makes you more trustworthy, not less. Ready to master professional boundaries? Comment YES and I'll add you to my free community.
