WORK ETIQUETTEThings not to share with your co-
workers.
![Page 31: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Salary Information
What you earn is between you and Human Resources.
Disclosure indicates you aren't capable of keeping a confidence.
![Page 32: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Medical HistoryNobody really cares about your
aches and pains, your latest operation, your infertility woes or the contents of your medicine cabinet.
To your employer, your constant medical issues make you seem like an expensive, high-risk employee.
![Page 33: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Gossip
Whomever you're gossiping with will undoubtedly tell others what you said.
If a co-worker is gossiping with you, most likely he or she will gossip about you.
![Page 34: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Work Complaints
Constant complaints about your workload, stress levels or the company will quickly make you the kind of person who never gets invited to lunch. If you don't agree with company policies and procedures, address it through official means or move on.
![Page 35: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Cost of Purchases
The spirit of keeping up is alive and well in the workplace, but you don't want others speculating on the lifestyle you're living -- or if you're living beyond your salary bracket.
![Page 36: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Intimate Details
Don't share intimate details about your personal life. Co-workers can and will use the information against you.
![Page 37: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Politics or Religion
People have strong, passionate views on both topics.
You may alienate a co-worker or be viewed negatively in a way that could impact your career.
![Page 38: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Lifestyle Changes
Breakups, divorces and baby-making plans should be shared only if there is a need to know. Otherwise, others will speak for your capabilities, desires and limitations on availability, whether there is any truth to their assumptions or not.
![Page 39: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Blogs/Social Networking Profile
What you say in a social networking community or in your personal blog may be even more damaging than what you say in person. Comments online can be seen by multiple eyes. An outburst of anger when you are having a bad day … can blow up in your face.
![Page 40: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Negative Views of Colleagues
If you don't agree with a co-worker's lifestyle, wardrobe or professional abilities, confront that person privately or keep it to yourself. The workplace is not the venue for controversy.
If you are a supervisor very important to confront in private!
![Page 41: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Hangovers and Wild Weekends
It's perfectly fine to have fun during the weekend, but don't talk about your wild adventures on Monday. That information can make you look unprofessional and unreliable.
![Page 42: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Personal Problems and Relationships
Failed marriages and volatile romances spell instability to an employer. Office romances lead to gossip and broken hearts, so it's best to steer clear. "The safest way to play is to follow the rule, ‘Never get your honey where you get your money.'
![Page 43: Career Development](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051608/544be2eeb1af9fc4428b45cd/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Others……Do not steal office stationary.If there is a conflict between two
parties, do not take sides and remain neutral.
Keep company secrets to yourself.
Keep your table and desk as neat as possible.
