Here are three things you should never do at work, according to an HR professional:

1. Don't overshare. It's easy to get comfortable with your coworkers after working with them for some time. However, their not necessarily your friend in some cases. Avoid oversharing to much of your life that could cause future issues like gossip or rumors.

2. Don't be humble. Successful people tend to be very direct about their accomplishments and more vocal. That means if you're too humble, you might get passed up for a promotion more easily. If you don't advocate for yourself, no one else will.
