Do you share personal information with some coworkers or do you keep it strictly professional? I find it hard at times when you become friends with some over others and was curious how you handle that.

Depends on the personal information really. If it is something temporary or negative, I keep it to myself. I don’t mind sharing and getting to know others, but try to keep it light and positive. I overthink how I come off to people too, maybe a good and a bad thing.

Yea that’s how I am too I mean I do work with friends I’ve gotten jobs for at my place but as far as new work friends I try to keep it limited

I don't really share a lot of personal stuff with coworkers. I just feel that work is work, and I don't drag my personal business into it. I have become friendly with work colleagues at times, but not really friends to the point where I'm sharing my personal life with them.

Yeah there needs to be that balance for sure I feel that way too

I used to make friends at work and share personal things but I very quickly learned that is a good way to get burned. Some people do not have your best interests at heart and will literally be in your business because they are nosey and not because they care about you.

This executive I support has given me an e-gift card for the 3rd time in the past 5 months. Each gift card is $300.

Is it normal to receive such large monetary awards? I think 50~100 is acceptable

I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?
