stress relief
do you really want to share with your staff?
stress releif for me is to get away from Drama and don't entertain it....
depending on what you share, why not? we spend atleast 8 hours a day with them talk to them. You may be surprised on what they have to offer.
Gossip can indeed spread like wildfire in the work context. Making sure you keep your personal life out of the work gossip is key. It's also good - as a general rule - to stay away from gossiping about others at work.
I agree - work environments sometimes become gossip central and your private life should be just that Private. If it's not work related then save it and discuss it outside of work.
That's a great question Russell. Sharing is a great stress reliever but I would be careful about the amount of detail you provide to coworkers. Sometimes when we share too much with people we work with, it can get us into trouble. Sometimes its' better to save work-related sharing for friends and family.
