Discretion still matters
Don’t ruin your career by sharing too much
Smash Company, 2017
What's inside?
Treating your co-workers as if they were your friends is bad career advice.
Recommendation
Common office etiquette has it that the workplace is not a place to share your feelings – especially negative ones. Among millennials, however, some have come to consider the notion of splitting yourself into a “work self” and a “private self” as being both disingenuous and emotionally unhealthy. But for long-time management consultant and start-up co-founder Lawrence Krubner, trying to relate to your co-workers the same way you interact with your buddies won’t get you very far in the world of work. He has written a passionate defense of discretion in the workplace as a way of both protecting yourself and advancing your career. Whether you are a millennial or work with millennials, getAbstract considers Krubner’s opinion piece an excellent conversation starter.
