Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
Here's a popular quandary...granted we spend more time at work then we do at home...work colleagues can morph into friends...it only seems natural that we share our personal items with the people we see everyday...after all, what's wrong with asking Sue or Jim.."how was the vacation?"....But, we walk a fine line when we begin to share information about our spouses, significant others and extended family. Sure, it's comfortable to confide in the person(s) we see everyday...I mean..who knows you better? ...work friends!.... we have coffee together in the am...lunch in the pm..and..let's not forget all the conversations about the "Evil boss"...we laugh, we cajole and create so many inside jokes....we find our "other" friends just can't relate...it's not the same as dropping by someone's office and casting a knowing grin that inspires gales of laughter.
Sharing intimate details of your personal life can be political suicide...imagine yourself standing at the water cooler and talking about Sue...now, think about Sue and Jim talking about YOU and your "big" night. and all of the other people who said..."have I got something to tell you....but, promise you won't tell".....
Yenta says,...like the Energizer bunny....."it's keeps going and going and going"......there are too many people out there who haven't been discreet....and...look where they are now!
Your Employment Yenta...(Just call me "T")
