""We develop close relationships with many coworkers, but there is still that boundary that needs to be respected," she told BI. "It's inappropriate to spread any rumors about other people at the office.""
""There are certain topics that should be reserved for places outside of work," Grumet told BI. "We shouldn't be bringing up anything too personal, such as religion, politics, personal health concerns, appearance - anything like that that might be crossing over that boundary.""
""Even if you have a close relationship with someone at work, you still need to remain professional with your communication," Grumet said."
Spreading rumors and gossip among coworkers is inappropriate and undermines professional relationships. Certain topics should be avoided at work, including religion, politics, personal health concerns, and remarks about appearance, because they can cross personal boundaries. Professional communication must be maintained even with close colleagues. Punctuality shows respect for others' time and is essential for meetings. Mindful body language also communicates respect and professionalism. Increased in-person work makes these behaviors more important for protecting reputations and fostering a respectful workplace culture.
