'I don't have a degree': 20+ Secrets people are hiding from their coworkers

What are you hiding from your coworkers?

There's fierce debate online about just how much of yourself you should bring to the workplace. It totally depends on the environment: there are some companies where you need to be 100% professional at all times, and there aren't a lot of opportunities to make small talk with coworkers. However, at many jobs, it can be nice to get to know the dude in the cubicle next to you, or the woman who's ringing up customers a few feet away from you.

I know, I know, some professionals will tell you not to share anything with your coworkers. And that's a fine mindset to have… but knowing your coworker's personal life tea is pretty great, honestly. It builds some camaraderie and gives you something to look forward to during those long working hours. I think it's okay to talk to your coworkers about personal things as long as you know that anything that comes out of your mouth could make it's way to HR or your boss. Just have discretion and you should be fine.
