gets progressively more private. 1. Block them from your personal social media. You need to block them. You see them lurking on your profile? Block them. But I really like co-workers. Fantastic. You will see them tomorrow. 2. Look neat. Never look rich. Look polished. Be neat. But nobody at work needs to know your financial position. "Oh, my, your bag. It looks expensive." It was a gift. 3. Stop giving people a running commentary on your personal life. Relationship problems, family problems, life events that haven't happened yet. We're thinking about buying a house. Shut the f*ck up. I think we're gonna try for a baby. What is wrong with you? Don't give people at work heads up. 4. Never tell somebody at work your honest and complete opinion of another person at work. Today's work bestie can be tomorrow's manager, department head, colleague, or competitor. Remember that. 5. Never tell anybody at work that you're thinking about leaving. If you're thinking about leaving, think quietly.
