other (со второй половинкой), your dog, or any information about your
health that isn’t necessary (необязательно)for everyone to know is probably
something that you should not be talking about at work. And I know that
sometimes when one of those things goes wrong, or you’re experiencing stress
that it can be really chanllenging for you to maintain (сохранять) a positive
attitude (отношение) at work, and for you to bring your best to the office so
that you can stay engaged (остаться вовлечённым), keep your colleagues
liking you and all of that fun stuff. But it is really important for you to practice
this because it is something that can really have a dramatic impact (влияние)
on you. One of my clients that I worked with made the mistake about talking
about her credit card debt (долг) at work. He was speaking with a friend and
another colleague was sitting by, and her manager was in earshot (в пределах
слышимости) and it was something that became the talk of the office (темой
для обсуждения). There was so much judgement (осуждения) going on
about her and it took her a lot of effort (усилий) and strategy in order for her
to clear up (избавиться от) that component of her professional brand. Which
really set her back (откинуло назад) several months, at least in her career.
You don’t want to be that person. It is better to not overshare (не делиться о
личном слишком много). It is better to undershare (недоговаривать) than it
is to overshare at work.
