I just got up in the morning, opened our company's small group, and I was scared, and there was a revelation of a colleague in the finance department, and the private affairs of an old colleague in the marketing department
1. Your true salary level.
Salary is really the "forbidden fruit" in this workplace, which always makes people curious and jealous. You may be proud of your high salary, or you may feel inferior because of your low salary, but in any case, you should not let your colleagues know your true salary level. Salary discrepancies often trigger unnecessary comparisons and jealousy, and may even affect your position and relationships within the team. Maintaining the mystery of salary is an important part of maintaining harmony in the workplace.
2. Your family strife.
As the old saying goes: "Family ugliness should not be publicized", "It is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs", family disputes and contradictions, these are all private things that you are unwilling to let outsiders touch. However, some people unconsciously confide in their colleagues about their family troubles when they are depressed.
The consequence of this is that not only do you not have the possibility of receiving real comfort and support, but you can also cause your colleagues to speculate and talk about your family life unnecessarily. Remember, family problems should be addressed at home, not brought to work.
3. How you really feel about your work.
Are you dissatisfied with your current job? Do you sometimes feel that the pressure is as great as a mountain and you can't bear it? These little Jiujiu in my heart, to be honest, it is better to digest it by myself. Why? If you complain to your colleagues that you work too much, are too tired, or are dissatisfied with the company, it is easy to interpret it as that you are not interested in your work, or even have an opinion about the company.
In this way, your image in the eyes of your colleagues may be greatly reduced. What's worse, if these words reach the ears of your boss or superiors, your career prospects will be a little hanging. So even if there are 10,000 dissatisfactions in your heart, you have to hold back and don't talk nonsense everywhere. If you want to change the status quo, then work hard and take practical actions.
Fourth, your ambitions and career plans.
In fact, everyone has their own ideas and goals, which is normal. However, in the workplace, it is better to talk about these things less. Why? Because once you say that your career plan and lofty goals are easy for your colleagues to see as showing off, or even feel that you are not satisfied with your current position and want to climb higher.
In this way, your relationship in the team may be a little delicate, and you may even attract some unnecessary enemies. And if your superiors know that you have these "ambitions", they may worry about whether you are ready to change jobs and doubt your loyalty. Therefore, it is better to talk to family and friends about your future and dreams, and don't go around in the workplace.
5. Your personal financial woes.
Money issues are always sensitive and tricky. If you are facing personal financial difficulties, such as being in debt, failing to invest, etc., then it is important to remain silent. Because once these problems are exposed, they may cause colleagues to worry and question your financial situation.
Not only will this affect your credibility and standing on the team, but it may also cost you some important opportunities for collaboration and promotion. So no matter how bad your financial situation is, grit your teeth and persevere, believing that it will get better one day.
A colleague I met at my previous company was saddled with a huge amount of debt because of a failed investment. He wanted to ask his colleagues for help and advice, but was met with cynicism and ostracism. Eventually, he had to leave the company to escape the financial turmoil. So, protect your financial privacy and dignity and don't let money get in the way of your career.
6. Your entanglement with your former company.
There can be a variety of reasons for leaving your previous company, but whatever the reason for leaving, it shouldn't be a topic of conversation in your new company. Because once you reveal it to your colleagues, entanglements and grievances with your former company, you may be seen as a person who likes to complain and be critical.
Not only will this affect your image and reputation in your new company, but it may also make your superiors doubt your ability and attitude towards your work. So, let everything about the former company be a thing of the past, and cherish the jobs and opportunities in front of you is the most important thing.
7. Details of your emotional life.
Emotional life is a part of personal privacy and one of the most gossiped topics in the workplace. However, revealing the details of your emotional life to your colleagues is not a wise choice.
Because the fluctuations and changes in your emotional life may affect your mood and performance at work, and the discussion and speculation of colleagues about it will also make you feel uneasy and troubled. In order to protect your privacy and image, it is better to separate your emotional life from work, keeping a certain distance and mystery.
As Andy said in the TV series "Ode to Joy": "The workplace is like the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the workplace has the principles of the workplace." "In the workplace, we should learn to protect our privacy and image and avoid talking about sensitive topics. Only in this way can we go more steadily and long-term in the workplace.
When it comes to protecting yourself in the workplace, your privacy and image are paramount. The seven things mentioned above are all sensitive information that you should avoid revealing to your colleagues. Only by being cautious and keeping a low profile can we move forward steadily and succeed in the workplace.
