Nothing burns me up more than having employees chat about their personal problems on MY time. It’s ok to bring work problems home because I do it all the time. If someone is having personal issues, I tell them to take a personal day and take care of it. I need productivity, not a bunch of whiners. How do you feel about this?

I’m guilty of both. Can’t turn my mind off. If I have a problem at work, I think about it at home, all evening. If I have a problem at home, I think about it while I’m working.
Solved a lot of problems by mulling them over, no matter where I was.
No,I take work to the bar .
I don’t do either. It’s not fair to my works mates to vent at them over home and it’s not fair to vent at my GF/F over work issues.
(i just crank my car stereo and vent in the car…)
Mentally, I take personal problems to work and work problems home. Not physically though — I limit personal calls to lunch and break time. The only time it physically intrudes on my work day is if my children are sick or hurt at school and I get a phone call about it. Sometimes having a personal crisis arise at work is unavoidable (no matter who it is). I know what you mean though about people being non-productive at work because of personal stuff. There is a person in our office who takes care of personal business all throughout the day and only fits in work around his personal stuff. Extremely annoying to those of us who have to truly work.
I’m probably guilty of both.
No and No
I keep the parts of my life separate as much as possible
I will vent to my boyfriend or family if something at work bothered me. I’ll also tell them funny stories about work. So, I’m not sure what you’d consider that.
But, I don’t let issues at home come through at work. But I will talk to about 2 people here about my problems. But, I listen to theirs (or anybody’s), too. I get all my work done and I go above and beyond always for my job. So I don’t see a problem with it.
People aren’t able to take a personal day every time something goes wrong in their life. Or else no one would EVER work.
Well if something or someone at work pisses me off (which happens a lot) I defiantly drive home from work in a bad mood and until it wears off that’s how I act. I know I shouldn’t do that but it happens.
As far as bringing personal things to work, I don’t really do that. Mainly because when I am busy at work I don’t really have time to dwell on my personal problems. I suppose if something was deeply wrong I may seem a little down but I don’t discuss it with anyone unless I know them well and it’s my lunch or break.
I tend to agree with you in some ways. Having been a Human Resource Manager for several years, I have seen these things get out of hand when people spread their personal affairs in the office. I know that employees can have friends in the office, but I would always encourage them to keep these areas separate from work and deal with them on break or personal time. We also had in place counselors for everything from financial crisis to drugs to help our employees and it was all confidential. Many of them took advantage of the plan since it was free, and it kept a lot of the gossip and inappropriate conversations out of the office. You have a right to expect your people to produce, but you also have to have a listening ear when things get out of hand with your workers. Just know when enough is enough.
I agree!!! I have one employee who tells EVERYONE who will listen all of her personal business—the good, bad & ugly!!! She tries to get me to let her leave–but that is just what she wants. Her husband won’t let her quit working —so she makes every excuse to leave work…
I hate it!! I try to keep my personal life separate as much as I can and I try not to bitch too much at home about work..sometimes I just wear my feeling on my sleeves!!
I agree with you that people should not bring their personal problems to work! That happens at my job all the time they are stressed out and they take it out on fellow employers by snapping at them or not doing their job. I especially hate people complaining they are sick constantly at work, these kind of people expect the easy load and the fellow employer has to do double the work which is not right! If you are sick call in do not make it hard for the hard working employee! And do not bring your personal issues to work that is just not right! As far as bringing work issues home, I just try to forget those issues and relax with a ice cold screwdriver!
