Career experts say this behavior can hinder the chances of a promotion.
Humblebragging refers to making a seemingly self-deprecating comment that actually draws attention to something you're proud of.
"I'm so tired today from playing all that golf with the boss at his club's Pro-Am yesterday," Lindsey Pollak, a career expert and author told Fox Business as an example of this behavior.
Career experts have often encouraged workers – especially women and minorities – to talk up their achievements to advance their careers and get promotions.
Some experts say this is partly because American work culture places value on being loud and visible.
