Survey: At work, do you volunteer anything about your personal life?

Do you care or want to know anything about their personal life?





With very few exceptions, I tell them absolutely nothing. At the same time, I honestly don't care or want to know anything at all about their life outside work. Gossip is a pointless exercise.





I would tell them nothing interesting is going on and even if there were I wouldn't tell them anyway.

Reply:I live in a small town...most everyone I work with knows all about everyone's personal life anyway!!!
Reply:My fellow teachers are also my friends. We know an awful lot about each other's personal lives. I'm glad. We take care of each other when we need to or celebrate with each other when we can.
Reply:Gossip can also be about work. The grapevine is an excellent way to find out who got fired, called in the office, and for what, etc. I do try to keep my work and personal lives separate, though.
Reply:Now I do not say anything about my personal life at work unless there is an emergency and I can't be at work - and that information only goes to appropriate office. I do have a couple of friends at my new job now, but nothing personal is discussed at work. We email each other, do favors, and call - but I think we all have been burned in the past and know enough to keep our personal lives away from work. We know when one of our buddies is down, and we will acknowledge that briefly for support, but nothing deep until it is private.





There was a time in my life when I was more open and trusted "friends" at work. My onsite manager was very manipulative and used it for the "power and control" trip she was on. There will always be creeps at work digging for dirt on anyone - that's why I go in clean, and leave clean.
