What should I say?

Question

if a co worker asks for help with something but you're busy finishing a task, what should you say? A I have to finish this but I'm happy to help when I'm finished B I can't help you today C I'm busy can you ask someone else

Answer 1

To be honest,,  if m not that much tired after my work then I'll definitely help but if tired then I'll think once to help and that's the real mentality of humans. But I'll definitely help no matters on that moment or on next day

Answer 2

In a work place we are colleagues and we are obliged to help one another in order to achieve the organization goals. If you are busy and after the task you'll be free, yiu you can tell them you are happy to help after you finish your task. 

Answer 3

When you are asked for help and you are not in a position to do so, you may very gently with a smile on your face say that -

1. Hey can I do this for you later as I am doing my work.

2. I wish I could help you right away but I am stuck with this work, can you wait for me till I finish, I can help you then.

This way you pushing the ball to their court and making very clear that you are willing to help but you struck up with work. 

Answer 4

From my side i definitely tell him that just give me 10 min to complete my work after this i immediately help you out in your work because i never say no for anybody's help because in future i also want someone help in my work and if he tell me no for that then this word heart me also that's why never say no to anyone help.

Yes exactly like that because whatever you are doing is important  and he is also important so he should wait a bit.

Answer 5

the answer will depend upon the type of task you are doing if the task takes more time then it's better to choose option C because it was not right to make him wait. 

and in other cases, if the task can be completed fast then option A is best to ask him time in a polite and friendly way.

Answer 6

It's good to explain yourself well when you are committed somewhere and it's also good to understand others when they are busy.Its good to tell him am busy right now I will be back to you after 30 minutes.
