For the company you might be the “Employee of the year” but a boss is always a boss. What is worse that he can make or break your career in the company. That is the reason why no matter how close you are at work or outside, there is always a ‘protocol’ which you must follow when you interact with him. Any failure in doing so might portray you as an immature person and if the things go out of hand it can even get you fired. So to help you navigate, we list down five things you must not share with your boss, no matter how bad you want to.
Office Gossip
Office gossips are as ubiquitous in offices as fish in the sea. In the first place you should protect yourself from any of them. And even if you know some of these gossips, never in life should you share them with your boss. It will picture show you to be an immature person.
Stay away from office gossips !
Never doubt your boss’s decisions
Never! You might not know what directives he might have got from higher authorities. Even if you have to, seek clarity in a very subtle manner.
Trust the decisions of your boss!
Never eavesdrop into his personal life
Never tell him that you spotted him coming out of movie theater with that beautiful colleague the other night.
Don’t tell him you eavesdropped!
Your other job
If your employment contract allows it, you might have taken some other job or freelance work to fund your family but that does not mean that you should go on and talk about it with your boss. Many people see it as reason that you are not giving your 100% at work.
Your other job should be a secret!
Your personal life and secrets
Because sharing them with anyone, especially with your boss leaves you defenseless and weak during your annual performance review.
Don’t let him look into your personal life!
