Re: keeping your private life private at your work environment

@shazi11

i noticed people at my work who never got too friendly with other co-workers never had a problem keeping their private life private. once you become overly friendly with your co-workers it becomes really hard to keep things private. So now i know just to keep a Hi, hello kind of relationship with people at work and i don’t have a problem keeping my private life private.

You are absolutely right.

i think it’s easier for married folks to avoid getting too friendly and not be labeled “anti-social,” but for us, single people, it is harder. You cannot avoid an after hour social by saying " i have a date with my wife;" married people can do it, and no one frowns. If you are single and you dont socialize you are labeled as an “anti-social,” and this stigma hurts your chance come promotion time, especially if you work at a place where team work is emphasized.
