We all know someone who tends to over share. Whether it’s on Facebook, Twitter, or in plain ol’ person, this individual goes overboard with personal information and gossip. Some do it out of nervousness and others just like to hear themselves talk or post.

It’s alright to over share with friends and family, but there is one time, in particular, when you should not share personal information or gossip.

Can you guess when and where that may be?

That’s right – your office.

In an office setting there is a time and a place to talk about personal relationships, shopping, parties, and after work activities. When you start a job sit back and observe the setting of your new office space and co-workers.  You’ll figure out when “show and tell” is appropriate.

Try to avoid being that person who is the talker or sharer.
