How to be discreet at work

One of the smartest attitudes you can maintain at work is discretion . Whether the relationship with your superiors is very good, or if you are fed up with them, you should never forget that it is your bosses, and that you can not tell them certain things, which should be in each one's personal area.

We already talked about certain things that you should never tell the boss. Now we offer some tips to make discretion your work standard, and avoid serious problems. Pay attention.

Personal information, with dropper

To the boss, the less personal information, the better. For very good relationship you have with him, and although sometimes you stay for a drink after work, never forget that he is not your friend, he is your boss and, therefore, that there are certain personal things that he should not know. In that sense, keep your private life separate from the employment relationship . It is not advisable that you tell absolutely everything you have done the last weekend: if you have gone out with friends, if you have stayed with your girlfriend, if you have gone on a spree, etc. You never know if that information is going to be, once, misinterpreted or used against you.

Another thing you should never do is allow your superior (or certain colleagues) access to your Facebook, your Twitter or other social networks. It is not easy to control privacy, and they may end up finding out about things you do not want them to know.

Sometimes it's better to shut up ...

Also, never say at work that you are looking for another job . Whether you get it or not, labor relations in your current position will be better if nobody knows (or at least the boss).

It is not convenient that you tell him, either, that you do not like the way he works, or that you need him to act differently. You can try to tell him politely what you think does not work, but to achieve success in this, you will need a left hand and diplomacy and, even so, many times it does not help.

Also with the sending of mass emails or joke, it is better that you leave these contents for your friends and if you receive an email of this type at work do not distribute it.

Business parties

If you want to be discreet at work, one of the things you should avoid is behaving strangely at Christmas dinners or outings of companies, are moments of relaxation but we can never lose sight that they are not our friends but our co-workers Beware of drinking too much and losing control.
