I think the list is a pretty good list about topics that should not be talked about at work. I think the most important topics are: Hangovers and wild weekends, Off-color or racially charged comments, Intimate details, and Politics or religion. These topics out of all of them are probably the most important ones to stay away from to keep a professional in a job. I probably wouldn't talk about these topics with my friends because it's my choice to share or not.

The topics that I think are most important are negative views of colleagues, hangovers or wild weekends, intimate details, off color or racial comments, and politics or religion. I might talk about my personal problems with my close friends but I would probably not talk to them about any of the other topics.

I would rank the list an 8. Topics that would annoy me at the work place that people would keep bringing up would be complaining about they're work load and their personal life. With my friends this is different even if your close friends with people at the work place it should be disgussed outside of the work place still.

Well to me some of those topics put on that list I guess would be good things to stay away from like relatioship problems or other things that don't really need other people to get involved in. But then again some of those topics could make a good conversation.

I think personal issues should be kept out of the work place.
Plain and simple.

I think that the list is a good list about topics that should not be talked about at work. I think the most important topics are: Politics or religion, Off-color or racially charged comments, Intimate details, Hangovers and wild weekends, and Lifestyle changes. I probably wouldn't talk aout any of these topics with my friends because it depends if I trust my friends or not.

Yes, there are plenty things that you shouldn't tell anyone so I keep it like this. If I wouldn't tell my Rabi I'm not gonna tell you.

I beleive that the list is very good. I think that the most important topics are off-colored or racial comments, hangovers and wild weekends, Intimate details, and salary information. These topics are the ones that i would stay away from. I would choose what i talk about carefully when it comes to co-workers.

I think this is a good list. Some of the more prominent topics are intimate details, politics or religion, negative views of colleagues, hangovers and wild weekends, and off-color or racially charged comments. I would talk about most of these with close friends, but no one else.

I think the list is a good list of things you should not mention at work to your co-workers. The most improtant comments to me are Hangovers and wild weekends, negative views of colleagues, and intimate details. These topics would be awkward, so I would keep personal things personal and and stick to talking about normal things.

I think this is a good list. The most important topics are: off- colour or racially charged comments, hangovers and wild weekends, salary,and Polotics or religion. I probably wouldnt talk about these topics to people but if I had a really close friend in the work place that I can trust, I would probably talk about some things with them.

I think the list is good, i would say the most important are hangovers and wild weekends, intimate details, politics and religon and off-colored or racially charged comments. These should definately not be talked about in the work place. I would probably talk to my close friends about my personal problems but im not sure about some of the other topics.

I agree with that list. all of those things on that list you should not talk about. their only a few things u should talk about not thouse things.

Jordan Wallace said...

I think this is a good list. I wouldn't talk about most of that to my friends or co-workers especially about my weekend, politics or religion.

Tim said...

I would give this list an 8/10 because some of this information might not be true all the time. One topic that i think is complaints about work because i hear my mom complaining about work all the time. There are no topics i wouldn't talk to my friends.

Many thoughtful comments. It's important to remember when you're at work you should guard what you say to co-workers. Your image could be damaged if you don't think before you speak.
