5 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DISCUSS AT WORK
Most adults spend 60-70 percent of their day at work, which makes us develop a level of closeness with people we work with. Hence, there are chances we'd comment on certain issues once in a while as they come up. But in as much as we are allowed to socialize and communicate informally with people we work with, there are some things you should never discuss with people you work with no matter how close you are with them.
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DISCUSS AT THE OFFICE

(1) Political Affiliations and Views
Among other controversial topics ypu know, discussions about your political affiliations and views is one thing you need to avoid talking about in work places especially when you don't have the same views with your boss. Again, political discussions may start off as a simple conversation but can quickly, i mean, very very quickly change to a heated arguement which may cause innapropriate behaviour in the office like fighting.
(2) Your Personal Relationship Life
But on the second thought, why would anyone talk about his personal relationship life in the office? Little details like how good or bad your partner is in bed, the last time you and your partner fought, whether you are seeing someone else etc should be kept to yourself as these details can be used by you collegues to blackmail you into doing shady favours for them.
(3) Your Last Job Expirience
Discussions about your last job expirience is another topic you should avoid talking about in the office as talking about the good part or bad part can both go wrong. Talking about the good part makes it look like you are comparing the present and past job and you prefer the last job. Talking about the bad part also make you look like someone who doesn't take responsibilities of his/her actions.
(4) Complains About Your Boss
No matter how close you think you are with your collegues, you should never join in discussing your bosses faults. Your opinions about his managerial skills or his work strategies should be kept to yourself because the work place thrives on competitions and there is always a wolf on sheeps clothing waiting to rant you out to your boss just to score few points and gain little favours from him.
(5) That You Are Looking For Another Work
The fact that you are searching for another work should be kept to yourself until you are very sure you've gotten the job. Like they say, gossips spread like wide fire and its very bad to let your boss hear of such development through a gossip. This might make him to terminate your job immediately when you are not yet sure of the other job. Your boss should know you are leaving through the resignation letter and not rumours.
From my personal expiriences, these are some of the things you shouldn't discuss in your workplace as they can hinder your promotion or lead to your boss sacking you. No matter what your opinions are on these issues, your collegues are not the people to discuss it with.
