在辦公室內千萬不要談論的四件事!

ars and cents

1.金錢

It's no secret that salary talk should be avoided, but it's no just paychecks that ought to remain private.

職場不談薪水已經不是什麼祕密了，但是不應只有工資要保密。

Debt, mortgage, and loans — yours or anyone else's — are a personal concern, and if money matters come up, the best thing to do is to sidestep the subject and steer the conversation elsewhere.

債務、貸款和借貸，無論是你自己的還是別人的，也都是個人隱私。如果別人討論了有關錢的話題，那麼你要做的就是迴避並轉移話題。

2.辦公室謠言

There will always be cubicle gossip, but that doesn't mean you need to participate. You want to be known for your work, not your rumor radar.

辦公室的格子間裏總會有各種流言蜚語，但這不意味着你也要參與八卦的討論。你應該以你的工作表現而爲人熟知，而不是以你的八卦能力。

Even if you trust a co-worker and your intentions are good, there's still a chance that you will be misunderstood, overheard, or otherwise caught up in the drama. Use your wit to comment on last night' TV highlights instead.

即使你很信任某位同事，或者你的出發點是好的，你也可能在八卦的過程中被人曲解、偷聽或者捲入是非之中。動動你的腦筋，可以聊聊昨晚電視裏的八卦嘛。

status

3.職位

If your boss offers you a raise or a promotion by all means. Celebrate! Call your family, but don't bring it up to a co-worker unless asked directly.

如果老闆給你升職加薪，你的確應該好好慶祝一番！你可以給你的家人朋友打電話，但不要和你的同事說，除非有特別要求。

Wait until an announcement is made or until your title officially changes; raising the subject yourself might seem boastful or rude.

等到有正式文件下來或者你的頭銜變更後，你纔可以和同事說；提早說的話，會讓人覺得你是在沾沾自喜或者很傲慢。

4.個人私事

Of course you will mention the happenings in your life to the people around you, but remember to set limits on what you reveal.

在與同事的談話中，你不可避免地會談到生活中發生的事，但是記住要分清什麼可以說，什麼不可以說。

Even if you feel close to your co-worker, and some things simply shouldn't be shared with office — mates.

即使你和同事的關係再好，你們也只是同事關係，有些事情是不能和同事分享的。

When in doubt, ask yourself if it's something you'd want your superiors to know. That will put things in perspective.

如果你疑慮的時候，那就想一下你希不希望這件事被你的上級知道。這樣你就能理清頭緒了。
