ReplyDeleteithink that list is very accourate. i think being rascist is very bad to be talking about at work. same with making fun of a fellow co-worker. thats pretty bad. you shouldnt also have a hangover after a weekend of wildness. i would never talk to my friends about break ups or blogs. i think that is just dumb to talk about. i think talk ing about your salary is bad because thats your personal information. i think that the list was very accurate with what you shouldnt talk about.

I believe that this article had many good points. You should your personal life personal. If you constantly are talking about your personal beliefs and problems people will know everything about your life and that is not a good thing. I think that it is wrong to gossip about anyone so by keeping yourself from talking about your co-workers or peers you can solve many disagreements and hurt feelings. Lauren Bules
ReplyDeleteI agree very much with the article. There are some things that should not be discussed in the work place. Personal problems, intimate details and lifestyle changes for example, do not need to be shared with your co-workers. Information you tell them, say about your "wild weekend" could be used against you and your job could suffer. However, with friends i could talk about any one of those topics. Well, my close friends anyway. I'm usually pretty open and don't hide much from them.

i agree with everything on the list. Not sharing your hangovers or how drunk you got, is a good thing. No one wants to hear about how drunk you got last night. Racial ways are not the best ways to go, you could get fired for that. Sharing about how much you earn, could possibly bring others down because you make more than the that person. DONT GOSSIP!! it could get you into sticky situations and have everyone you work with not like you.

I agree to the list because those are more of a private matter then anything, and you wouldn't want to say that at a mall, so why say it at work?

I Agree with everything on that list, some information people dont want to know about. You dont know how the people are going to react towards what you say. You can offend someone and get yourself and that other person in a lot of trouble. If you talk about someone and the word gets out you can loose your job.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this article. There is just certain aspects of your life that you don't need too share with your co-workers, your job could suffer. your co-workers don't need too know about your personal life.
ReplyDeleteyes some stuff is not good to talk about at work how much you make should not be shared with other coworkers and rasism is bad no matter where its being talked about.

I think that this article was very helpful.I think that it is important not to talk about personal information with your co-workers.Things such as gossip,politics,personal problems, and relationships are not appropriate to talk about at work.I would just save all of those topics for your family and close friends who you can trust with your personal information.

ReplyDeletei think that the things that were on the list were true. You dont need to tell everyone about your life and problems. People that are just co-workers to you don't always have an idea of what your life is like so they wouldnt really know what to tell you for your problems.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything on that list. Gossip is just wrong period. You shouyld never talk about it at school or work. Your just asking for trouble. Racism comments, your own personal beliefs or lifestyle, should never be mentioned anywhere unless with your friends or family. Otherwise, anyone who hears can start gossiping about you. The only people I would talk about all of this would be my friends and family.

ReplyDeleteI think this list is completely right. The topics I think should never be brought up are gossip and complaints because mostly it is annoying to listen to people complain and say things about people all day. Another thing I strongly agree with is the racial comments that is rude and something that you should keep to yourself.
ReplyDeleteHannah McBride
This article is very reasonable and is very true. The most important comments to keep to yourself is racial comments. I would only share some of the stuff with my really close friends.
ReplyDeleteShawna Buttram
The article was good and I do think you need to draw a line between personal life and your business life that kind of stuff should not be talked about when you are at work you should only talk about those things when you are with close friends or family
ReplyDeleteRaivan Overmyer
I completely agree with this list. Your personal life and your work life should be kept apart from one another. If you try and mix the two, everything can and will go haywire. It's nobody else's business if you got drunk on the weekend or if you're trying to get pregnant. Gossiping is completely inappropriate! Don't do it at work ever because once you start it you really can't stop it. I mean I would talk about this kind of stuff with my friends, but there's a difference between your friends and your coworkers. Even if your coworkers might be your friends outside of the office, inside of the office you should be professional towards each other and save the small talk for later.
ReplyDeleteI think this article has a many bad work topics. Racist comments shouldn't be used anywhere let alone at work. Gossip in the workplace is juvenile you had plenty of time to gossip during high school. Personal beliefs are called personal beliefs for a reason so don't share these unless you and your co-workers are on the same page.
ReplyDeleteJonathan Shepherd
I think the article is good. you shouldn't talk about gossip at your job. talk about it when you get at home something when your at work you do work not spread gossip like your in high school again.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the article. Your personal life and work life should be kept separate. I feel that if you mix the two it creates chaos and makes your job suffer.
