Don’t Share Office Gossip with Your New Coworker
It
might be tempting to bend your new coworker’s ear and let him in on all
of the office dirt. You may even think you’re helping him out by giving
him the inside scoop. But sharing the ins and outs of office politics
with the newcomer isn’t always advisable. Doing so could reflect badly
on you and bias him against his new coworkers. Of course you can help
your new colleague get acclimated to the office, but check your motives
first. Are you trying to make life easier for him, or get him on your
side? Even if your intentions are positive, carefully choose the
information you share. After all, you don’t know what your new colleague
might tell others, exposing you and possibly damaging your reputation.
Follow this simple rule: Only share what you would be comfortable
sharing with everyone. Act as if everybody’s listening.
