We all openly discuss most stuff here, most people share quite a lot. I like it tbh.

As little as possible, sometimes actively lie about what I’m doing to try avoid further questions

Work friends - fairly reasonable amount
Everyone else - not much

Not much. I don’t like it and would rather work somewhere where I felt more comfortable being myself around my colleagues
Think it’s cause I work in a small place and a lot of people have mutual friends etc outside of work. a lot of dinner talk too.

Yeah I used up most of the morning talking to one of the brewers about the worst WWE finishing moves.
Any of the ones with a convoluted setup for me. Like guys who do a stomp from the tree of woe. Just daft.

My immediate team/work pals, quite a bit. Work colleagues/acquaintances not too much at all.
There isn’t very much to know really

Yeah depends, doesn’t it?
Levels include:
A- Don’t know who I am
B - Know I am a consultant
C - Know me well enough to chat to
D - Know me well enough to destroy me
Most are B or C. A few I’ve known for a long time are D.

been friends with half of them for decades and the ones i didnt know before joining have been mates with the ones i did for that long, so everyone is right up in everyone else’s business.
used to avoid it like the plague but i dont really mind now, its nice to have quite a closeknit gang of us.
It varies, I’m generally quite shy but as I’ve started to get older and more comfortable in my skin, I’m happier expressing my taste in niche music and stuff like that. Depends who, really - if I sense a kindred spirit, I’m more willing to open up a bit

Also I’m in a new job so I’m not yet at the level of having - for example - an injoke about foot fetishes with a colleague that I really hope the client didn’t overhear that one time jesus christ oh god
I never talk about my personal life (relationships etc) or anything like interests with work colleagues. Generic stuff is fine but anything more is no go.
I work for myself so I know everything about me.

Not sure, have a feeling some of them haven’t been reading my newsletter for a while

When I started working I had absolutely nothing in common with my colleagues* so didn’t bother sharing because there genuinely wouldn’t have been any point. Have got a little better now I work somewhere a little more progressive (when I casually asked one of my colleagues what he’d done at the weekend when I just started here he told me he’d DJed at a Happy Hardcore night) but I don’t interact with these people outside work so am still mostly just conversational at best.
*reckon I probably wouldn’t have started posting here if they’d all been a bit less dull
I used to be incredibly open and good pals with my colleagues in my first jobs but that tapered off as I moved into slightly more people-managing roles. Started to feel like I could damage my professional reputation if I was chatting shit about who I hooked up with last night etc
In my current job, most people are just quite dull and I don’t have any urge to be friends with them so it’s all profesh. Not interested in hearing about their live laugh love wall decor and doubt they’re interested in hearing about how precious my cat is
