Talk at Work

Go to the following link "Talk at Work" and read tips on things not to share with your co-workers. How do you rank the list? Which 5 topics do you think are most important? Are there any topics you wouldn't talk about with your friends? Why or why not.  Your response must be specific and key your first and last name at the end of your post.

On your personal blog, be sure to upload your Christmas scene you created in paint. 

Saturday my nieces and grandchildren made these graham cracker houses . . . what fun we had.  Next year we're thinking about doing a train set.  What fun things do you do at Christmas time with your family and friends?

  2. I think the most important things to not talk about at work are negative veiws of colleagues, gossip, work complaints, medical history, and salary information. Those can all easily be used against you in negative ways.

  4. I think people should be talking about postive things that happen in their life, like marrages and kids and stuff, but should avoid the things like negative views of other people and gossip. you don't know if that person likes that other person enough to tell them. Hangovers are another thing you should avoid.

    During christmas, we ususally make a gingerbread house, last year it was a mess, but it was so fun! it just kept falling over so we gave up and ate it. on christmas eve, we usually have fun with my aunt and uncle. its like a second christmas!

  5. The 5 most important things not to talk about at work are salary, gossip, medical issues, personal problems, and rude or negative comments. Most of the 13 things I would share with my friends because they're the ones that are supposed to be there for you and listen to your problems. Some of them are also interested in your life and how you are doing. For example, a friend may want to know what you did over the weekend or how your relationship is working out.

    During the Christmas season, my family and I are very busy. We always spend a whole weekend baking and decorating cookies. We go to alot of parties and spend time with family and friends. Then on Christmas Eve, we go to church and come home and make a really fancy dinner. After dinner, my mom, dad, sister, and I all get to open one present. We drink hot chocolate and eat Christmas cookies while watching Christmas specials. We go to bed and wake up in the morning to open presents. After, we get ready and have Christmas with my mom's side of the family. The following day, we have Christmas with my dad's side at the lake.

  8. I think that the 5 most important things you shouldnt talk about around coworkers is gossip, salary, personal problems, problems with cowrokers, and medical history. Its mostly your buissness why cause conflict.

    We dont really have any family traditions. We used to though. There really isnt much to do. Sometimes we cooked or had family over. But at my old house when i lived in a neighborhood we had a court yard and everyone went out to have snowball fights which was pretty fun. Especially this one time that i shoved a snowbal down my dads shirt. lol

  10. I probably do ok on the list. The most important would be Gossip, Intimate details, Hangovers & Wild Weekenders, Lifestyle changes, and Religion. The only topics I wouldn't talk to my friends about would be anything I find classified about myself.

    We have no Christmas traditions; other than the usual stuff every american does.

  13. This article showed me a lot on what not to say to my co workers. The five most important things not to say to them would be about your personal life, gossip, medical issues, slaray, and your work complaints. I do talk to my friends about some of these topics such as my personal life. I think its important for them to know more about me and how im feeling, or what im going through. That way if I needed help i would get it.

    I love to make christmas cookies with my mom and grandma. We love to have our flower fights and our frosting makeovers. Christmas is a great way for me to spend with my family.

  15. After reading this article I rank it high because theses topics need to be stopped. The top five topics I think are important are Medical History, Gossip, negative views of colleagues, off- color or racially charged comments, and salary information. Most of these topics I would talk with my friends.
    On christmas time I bake a lot of cookies with my mom and grandma, most of my time I spend it with my family and exchange gifts with friends.

  16. After reading the article I think it's good that someone made it because people need to know what to say and what not to say at work. I think the best 5 topics NOT to talk about at work are your salary information, gossip, intimate details, hangovers and wild weekends, and off-color or racially charged comments. A lot of negative things could be said about you and its better just to keep it to yourself. Me and my friends don't care what we talk about around each other so it doesn't really matter.

    Every year on Christmas, my mom, Casey (older sister) Cara (younger) and I will bake. We will pick a good day that were not doing anything and just bake all day.

  17. I think people should be able to talk with certian people about stuff, but not all things, such as personal life. But theres no problem in talking about what you did last night, medical history, gossip, negative views of colleagues, off color or racially charged comments, and or salary information. I would talk to my bestfriends about stuff like this, but not everyone.

    Every year me and my mom and brother always make cookies, its kinda changed now, usually my brother doesn't but me and my mom still will every year. (:
