Many of us spend more time at work during the week than we do at home. It is understandable, therefore, that our personal life tends to creep into our work life, and we might find ourselves sharing a little more than necessary with our co-workers.
It’s fine to share a little, of course, especially with your close co-workers and preferably when you’re out of the office. But you don’t want to be known as the person who over-shares, especially around your co-workers or boss who may not know you very well. Doing so will probably give you a reputation as a chatty, no holds barred person and this attitude might make others feel uncomfortable and unproductive, especially when they find themselves listening to your personal problems while they should be working.
