办公室里总有那么几个同事跟你关系比较好，你们约一起吃饭、逛街、看电影，他们就是你的“办公室朋友”。办公室友谊当然可以存在，但下面这7条不成文的规矩你有注意到吗？
When you work with people day after day, you’re bound to make friends. If handled correctly friendships can make work so much more enjoyable, or at least tolerable if you’re in a less than desirable job, but there can also be some pitfalls if you’re not careful. 每天和一帮人在一起工作，你一定会交到一些朋友。如果处理得当的话，友谊会让工作更加愉快。如果你的工作并不尽如人意，它至少会让你多一份包容。但如果不小心也可能会有陷阱。 Some of these friendships in the office will outlivethe job; others will not. In either case, office friendships are a valuable part of any professional network and can be a boost to your career if managed in a professional manner. If mishandled they can do a tremendous amount of damage. What you need to know: 有的办公室友谊比这份工作本身更长久，有的则不是。不管怎样，办公室友谊都是任何职业道路上宝贵的一部分。如果你以职业的态度来对待，它还会促进你的职业发展。如果处理不当则可能给你造成巨大的损失。下面是你需要明白的： 1. Beware oversharing 小心过度分享 Share with caution. Take the time to get to know your co-workers a bit before divulging personal information and stay appropriate and professional even with those you trust. Have clear boundaries about what is “shareable” and what is not. Think “TMI” (too much information.) Family updates, hobbies, interests, educational pursuits, etc. are all fair game. Illegal activities, intimate details, and “resume exaggerations,” not so much. 与他人分享时要小心。透露个人信息之前，先花些时间了解你的同事，即便是对那些你信任的人也要保持适当和专业的态度。对于什么是“可以分享的”什么不可以，要有清楚的界定。家庭近况、兴趣爱好、教育追求等等是可以透露的。而违法行为、私密细节和简历中的夸大成分就不必多说了。 2. Nix the complaining 别向同事抱怨 No matter how well you know your “office friend” don’t gossip or complain about your boss. That’s a big no-no. It puts your office friend in a very uncomfortable situation and could be potentially damaging if your words ever reached the ears of the wrong person. Save your venting for your partner other personal friends outside of work. 不管你有多了解你的“办公室朋友”，都不要跟他/她八卦或者抱怨你们的老板。这是决不能做的。这会让你的办公室朋友感到十分不安，如果你的话传到不该听到的人的耳朵里，后果可能很严重。抱怨的话还是对工作圈以外的朋友说吧。 3. Maintain individuality 保持个体性 Be careful that your office friendships don’t obscure your individual accomplishments and separateness. You still need to build and protect your individual reputation on the job. Especially in the beginning of your career, you need to shine and stand out from the crowd. Office alliances are part of the work culture, that’s fine, just don’t let your own contributions become overshadowed. 小心别让你的办公室友谊掩盖了你个人的能力和独立性。你依然需要建立和维护你在工作上的个人声誉，尤其是在职业生涯的起步阶段，你需要从人群中脱颖而出。办公室联盟是工 作文化的一部分，这没什么，只是别因此掩盖了你个人的贡献。 4. Watch the gossip 小心八卦 It’s natural and normal for people to show an interest in what other people do and say. It’s not necessarily all bad providing it isn’t malicious, but be careful. Gossip can cause hurt feelings and stir up trouble and office drama create enemies that you don’t need or want. If you stay positive in your office conversations, you’ll never need to defend your words or repair hurt feelings. It’s important to build a reputation as a person who is respectful and who can keep information confidential, not as the “office gossip.” （责任编辑：晨鸿） |
