11 Reasons Your Co-workers Hate You

These Bad Habits Leave Your Co-workers Seething

8. Too Much Information

Too Much Information -- or TMI as the kids are calling it these days -- is a tricky thing.

While most co-workers share a certain amount of personal information with one another and the line between just enough and too much is often blurry, it is still there. For example, it's perfectly acceptable to tell your co-workers you went out to a club this weekend. But telling them you got so wasted the bouncers had to toss you out for your half-naked rendition of Gangnam Style is TMI. The same goes for excessive talk of personal health problems, marital spats, your child's latest accomplishment at preschool no one cares about, and your private phone calls during work that are anything but.

Everyone has their own problems, they don't want to deal with yours too.
