I suspect that there are probably literally an infinity of thoughts and concepts that it is acceptable to talk about at work.

- willcipriano 5y agoEverything except politics, religion, sexuality, drug use, firearms, philosophy and your ambitions in life (unless they are die working here). You also don't want to bring up things like playing video games too much, or going out for drinks too often, unless people get the wrong impression about you. Getting too personal about issues you are facing in life also can be career limiting.
- Angostura 5y agoI'm pretty sure I know about the sexuality of my coworkers - not something that come up as a matter of conversation much, just gets mentioned in passing and most of the company has pronouns in their e-mail signatures, now so that's gender sorted. Firearms doesn't come up because I'm in the UK. Yes, I know about the ambitions of most, and who is thinking of resigning in a month or so. I think I'm the onlly gamer and people think it's highly amusing that I watch Twitch streams in my late 50s, but hey. Sure, I'd tend to avoid politics and religion - but those are hardly massively limiting constraints.
