I was told bringing a spouse to a work event meant you wouldn't get raises because family people are less willing to work late. So which is it?

  It's on a case by case basis, but try saying "I do not wish to discuss my personal life at work" in response to any questions about your personal life, and see how it goes :) Caveat: You have to be in a large company with a lot of managers.

    >> try saying "I do not wish to discuss my personal life at work" in response to any questions about your personal life, and see how it goes No one will bat an eye at that answer. There are some managers / employees / peers where I know their personal life well and there are some I don't know at all. It has never been relevant.

    You have to play the social game. Saying "It's none of your business and you can't force me to answer" send a very different message than "It's going alright. Did you watch the game last night? Pretty cool, huh?"

  It means that you need a new job.
