I think most are completely misunderstanding the point being made. None of these are changing the meaning of what is said, they are changing the verbiage.

Instead of saying “I don’t have time” you’re saying “I took on a more important task, so don’t have bandwidth to do the task you’re talking about”.

This isn’t “work more complain less” it’s “use business talk against them”.

    For some I agree. But the response to the "I'm comfortable in my role" one I really dislike.

    It should be fine to be satisfied with your position instead of having to eternally strife to a reach a higher step on the ladder. If that's what somebody really wants, it's ok and they should go for it. But for others that mindset will just end in a burnout and it should be applauded if they are able to recognise their limits. Work to live, not live to work.

    Two quick points, the first is that this appears geared towards “getting a promotion” but even then, that text is kinda ambiguous. They aren’t saying “I want a new challenge” as in “give me a new role” it’s saying “I like where I am and can’t wait for a new challenge in my current role.”

    Though you bring up a good point, a lot of these are worded kinda ambiguously.
