    Things Not to Say to your Co-Workers



    I think that the list of what you shouldn’t say to possible employees ranks pretty good, but I would revise a couple of things. Medical history should be first, followed by salary info. Then lifestyle changes should be left for third, switching it with gossip and that is about it. So here would be my list.

    1. Medical history
    2. Salary Information
    3. Lifestyle Changes
    4. work complaints
    5. cost of purchase
    6. intimate details
    7. politics
    8. gossip
    9. blogs and social networking
    10. negative views of fellow workers
    11. Hangovers and wild weekends
    12. personal problems
    13. off color or racial slurs

    The list of things you shouldn't say to co-workers or possible future employers/employees seems off on a few points, I would switch a few things around, bringing things up that are closer to the end of the list. Here would be my list:
    1. Salary Information
    2. Gossip
    3. Intimate Details
    4. Work Complaints
    5. Medical History
    6. Cost of Purchases
    7. Politics or Religion
    8. Lifestyle Changes
    9. Blogs or Social Networking
    10. Hangovers and Wild Weekends
    11. Negative Views of Colleagues
    12. Personal Problems
    13. Off-Color or Racially Charged Comments

    Life at work is obviously very different than life at home and while I think that you should be comfortable with your job and your co-workers, you do not need to share everything with them. People, especially in office careers, like to socialize at work. I am arranging this list for the job I would like to be doing [which is a bit eccentric and NOT an office job].

    1. Off colour or racial slurs- this is by far the worst thing you could be caught joking about and could cost an entire career
    2. Gossip- uncalled for and rude
    3. Negative Views of fellow workers- I believe this falls under gossip
    4. Intimate details- Very few, if any, people want to know about bedside matters…
    5. Cost of purchase- Again, few people care about your junk in your house
    6. Salary Information- This is a bit questionable but it shouldn’t really matter.
    7. Politics or Religion- this can lead to heated debates but if the people are sensible they will set aside their differences
    8. Blogs and social networking- Very few self-respecting adults talk about what someone said on MySpace… nobody cares.
    9. Lifestyle changes
    10. Hangovers and wild weekends- People get drunk and do stupid things. It makes for a good joke, I think.
    11. Medical records- Many people make a huge deal out of this when it isn’t
    12. Work complaints- If you have a complaint you should really just go see a superior
    13. Personal Problems- If you can’t talk to your co-workers about whatever you want then you shouldn’t be talking to them at all
