The Outline of Issue Essay-IV

Thesis Statement: I agree with the statement that employees should keep their private lives and

personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace because of three reasons.


First Reason:

-damages professionalism

-unethical behavior

-ruins companies’ images

Example: one of my coworkers brought her son to the workplace


Second Reason:

-less concentration

-making mistakes

-reducing productivity

Example: one of my coworkers distracted the meeting by using his cell phone


Third Reason:

-causing layoffs

-leads to conflicts

-creates informal atmosphere

Example: gossiping caused a tensional atmosphere in my workplace


Conclusion: Separating private lives and personal activities from workplace is the most

important rule in business environment for employees because otherwise it causes lack of

professionalism, lack of concentration and layoffs.
Separating private lives and personal activities has been difficult for employees whenever

they are forced to do that. These employees assert that sharing private lives and talking personal

activities create a friendly environment. However, the main goal of companies is how to increase

productivity. For this reason, I agree with the statement that employees should keep their private

lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace because of necessity of

being professional, keeping high concentration and preventing layoffs.


       First, professionalism is the most important thing for employees. To be professional

requires separating private lives and personal activities from the workplace. Otherwise, they will

damage the company’s image. For example, one of my coworkers often brought her son to the

workplace, and she wasn’t able to focus her job. She couldn’t do the right things because she had

to pay more attention to her son than her assignments. That behavior ruined our department’s

image, and it was seemed unprofessional by customers who visited the company that time.


       Second, concentration is the other important key while working because less

concentration will probably lead to critical faults which reduce the productivity in a workplace.

In addition, employees who have less concentration undermine the synergy in the workplace. For

instance, I was working on a serious project with my coworkers. When we were in meeting, one

of them was distracting the meeting by using his cell phone. So, we couldn’t concentrate on the

project, and we couldn’t finish it on time.


       Third, employees should separate their private lives and personal activities; otherwise,

they can be laid off because sharing private lives and personal activities can cause conflicts

between employees. If the tension between employees increases, the manager will fire one of

them who cause the tension.
