Personal life and business romances of colleagues
The topic of personal relationships is quite spicy and often arouses the desire to gossip. However, discussing personal life in the workplace is not the best idea. Talk about the passions of one of the colleagues should also be excluded: if someone likes someone in the team or you know about their secret affair, do not talk about it, because it’s not your business.
Even if you have a business affair, it is better not to spread about it, leave the team without a reason for unnecessary gossip and protect management from thinking that now you will start to mix work with personal life.
Discussion of dismissed employees
Personal qualities, work achievements, and failures of former colleagues – another not the best topic for discussion in the work team.
First, do not forget that from gossip you will not grow in the eyes of colleagues and superiors. And secondly, remember that the person has left, and the people who were in good relations with her and to this day are in them, remained, and with them, you can definitely spoil communication.
Salary
Make it a rule never to discuss the size of the salary: neither your own nor any of your colleagues. Everyone is gossiping that someone has been undeservedly paying a bonus, avoid such conversations. You are dissatisfied with your salary – you do not need to complain about its size to any of your colleagues (and you do not need it at all, you go to this job yourself).
Even if you are satisfied with the salary received for the last month, it is also not worth talking about. Many modern companies have long implemented a system of individual motivation, presented in the form of bonuses and various bonuses. Don’t forget that your colleagues, when they learn that the size of your award exceeds them, can cover up their resentment and not even realize that you have made a much greater contribution to the development of the company. The result is envy and a host of consequences.
Managers of many companies know that the team’s discussion of the salaries of individual employees leads to differences between them and the deterioration of the general situation, so they do not welcome those who talk too much about the money received.
Want to have a good reputation with colleagues and superiors – be a source of positive emotions, not unnecessary information. Learn to reduce all conversations to the discussion of work moments, interests, hobbies, but not to the topics of money, novels, and qualities of former colleagues.
