Advice on not oversharing at work
new corporate worker here - working on a company that’s 95% under 25 years old and new grads we’re all pretty casual. I’m just a really honest and genuine person and the more I play pretend/feel like I’m lying the worse my mental state is. I have a few close coworkers who I spend the majority of the day and while everyone kind of “over shares”when not around managers, I personally don’t want to. The team is also extremely cliquey so being the last new joiner I’m a little out of the loop and that’s okay.
I’ve tried just working at the desk with earbuds in to prevent too much hanging out but I work at least 10 hrs a day and still want to enjoy the perks of working in the kitchen or terrace to get away from the big screen. But that typically comes with at least a few coworkers joining.
any advice on not sharing too much when talking to colleagues in/outside of work?
