There's a line here, you've got to define it with them. First, people are people, and they're going to deal with emotional issues with the people they trust. Second, it's up to you to either participate or not. If they report to you, then you've got to setup expectations generally and work with things on a case by case basis. |

Tell them leave it at home work is for work. There is a time and a place for everything..but for that work is not it. Take some time off and try to reason with it. If they cant on their own have them find someone to talk to |

"If I wanted to hear that stuff then I would have just stayed home". That usually shuts them up |

Kindly ask them not to unpack their personal problems at work, as it it is not beneficial to the work environment. |

Depends on if your the boss asking or the employee, it's a fact that females(many but not all) have trouble leaving their luggage per say at the front door, and it's hard to if you have an unstable home or love life, Because women are so emotional it's hard to just turn it off and on like a light switch. I would say just ignore it unless it interferes with your own job abilities because really that's your job(as an employee) is to do what is asked of you and forget the drama. Good luck |

Tell them about YOUR emotional baggage, even if you have to make it up! Make sure is is more depressing, more horrid than yours. When they question you about it, tell them you are only acting as they do, then tell them to SHUT UP! |

I know if you listen to them going on and on about their problems a couple of times they'll think your actually interested and start telling you EVERYTHING. Just ignore them the first time and they'll go away. |

I would simply try to change the subject- in a polite way of course. That's such a quandary! But, ppl really need to stop doing that- we all have issues and we don't need to be a therapist to everyone. When your co-worker really goes on and on, try to sympathize, but then perhaps relate a similar situation so your co-worker sees that he/she isn't the only person with problems. After you mention your issue you could say something like "I try to focus on other things when I am here at work, and maybe you should too." Or you could simply just tell your co-worker that you sympathize with their plight, but don't feel comfortable discussing it with them. Good luck. |

depends what it is. if my coworker was in the middle of a divorce or something big like that i would show compassion for a reasonable amount of time. maybe that person has no one else to vent to. ofcourse, this means they'd have to dump their baggage at an appropriate time at work like lunch hour or something but i wouldn't judge. |

Tell them that:
"Problems don't make you special they make you like everyone else. Get a shrink and take some pills." |
