Revised January, 2011

Some people keep their private life private in the workplace -- which can be a blessing. Many workers, however, are forced to work in an environment where they hear about everything from a co-worker's baby-making plans to their estranged relationship with their father.

Talking about such topics might be fine to share over cocktails with your best friend; they are not fine for the workplace.
