In all probability, you count many of your colleagues as your friends and spend more time with them than you do with you loved ones.
But where should a person draw the line and at what point should they stop being pals with theirco-workers and start a professional relation with them.
He has listed seven things that we should avoid talking or discussing about with our co-workers.
Firstly, Hor said that sex life is a topic that people should avoid talking with their colleagues, as it can get them in legal trouble; he asserted that the definition of sexual harassment can be quite broad, News.com.au reported.
Secondly, people need to be aware of their obligation not to malign certain groups in the workplace, as the expression of personally held opinions could be dangerous.
Thirdly, gossiping about others in a work place is a no-no, as it suggests that the person may not be productive in the workplace. And gossiping about people in their private life is also risky.
Fourthly, a worker should never tell their superior that that they wrote themselves off on the weekend, as it represents a lapse in judgement and could makes them query if the person could have the same lapse in judgement in their work.
Fifthly, if a colleague or a customer is discourteous to the person, they should be careful about how they respond, especially if they are angry or frustrated, as co-workers might be turned off if they are constantly venting about others.
Sixthly, a person should never reveal to a co-worker about the big mistakes that they have committed in their life, as they can disclose it to others.
Seventhly, major life events that have happened in a person's life can pose problems if they share them in the wrong way.

Sir,
ReplyDeleteReally useful. But let the workers do not forget to discuss what should be the agenda points in Union Meetings. Regarding Living Out Quarters, it is learnt that, at Unit-4 colony, 60% Qtrs are occupied by the BSNL/DOT. Now the ground realities have changed. The ratio of Postal employees in favour of 75% Qtr to be with Postal side. Can you please take up this item so as to enable your fellow comrades get an accomodation earlier. DOT/ BSNL staffs have sub-leted their Qtr to outsiders,on contrary Postal Staffs are languishing for an accomodation. Even the CGMT has allotted the Qtrs to daily workers working under the contractor engaged in construction of park tendered for Rs 15 lakhs(appx) or so. Those Qtrs may be brought back to Postal side, as our staff deserve more than the out side laborers. Your kind co-operation may go a long way to resolve an issue cherished by many.
