Its not difficult to imagine a person saying 'i have nothing i want to share here' be stigmatised in future. As a person who doesnt want to work together and be part of the company culture.

Or just share regular story you would normally share, when introducing yourself in work setting? I'm 100% sure nobody would care.

  I'm not sure anyone wants to share the work-safe marginally funny story they use around new people as the chaser to someone discussing how they got clean off drugs or recently dealt with a miscarriage or something. Like will anyone care? Probably not but it's an incredibly awkward situation to toss people into when they're at work.

    > how they got clean off drugs which would probably even work okay because everyone loves and applauds a success story or something that isn't your fault, but imagine someone sharing their ongoing drug addiction. People who think that workplaces are "safe" spaces for personal issues should try envisioning what the reaction to that would be.

      Now let's switch to close family setting. It would be OK to discuss drug addiction with your parents. It would not be OK to discuss steamy night with your wife with them. It's almost like adult people can understand environment and make conscious decisions what is acceptable and what is 10% they can bend the rules if they want to switch the mood a little. Honestly it's hilarious how supposedly emotionally mature people panic and over-analyse in this thread.

        > Almost like adult people can understand environment and make conscious decisions what is acceptable [...] Apparently not because in TFA, the author shared personal facts about their divorce and other people shared even "deeper" things they'd "never heard in a work setting". Quote: "it was awkward". These aren't things that belong in a workplace context (sure, if you're going out for drinks after work maybe you can volunteer such things - but not during a workplace meeting!).

        To be fair, I did seen people discuss divorce, health and even alcoholism in workplace.

It's also not difficult to imagine the opposite? Feels a bit like a strawman fallacy.
