Hi all,
I hope someone will kindly help me find the right idiom or expression about the following situation. In all professions and working conditions there are those who prefer not to get involved in trivial matters which aren't directly related to the work. For example, in an office context one might not like to get involved with what colleagues say about each other, how some get a promotion while others can't, how boss treats some employees differently, etc. Whatever happens, this person wants to do their own job without getting involved. (In the case of a football context, the player tries to avoid the press, and anything not related to football which might stop them from reaching their goals.)
I wonder if there was any common expression or idiom we can use for such situation? Say, in a sentence like, 'I don't re
ally want to ............................! I'm just trying to do my best,...'
Many thanks!
