I work in a very small team, there is me (woman), my colleague (woman) and my team leader (man). That's it.
My colleague transferred to the team during the second lockdown and I trained them in over the internet and using WhatsApp or whatever software we could use to have online meetings at the time. I've never worked in an office with this colleague being part of my team, only remotely (in case this is relevant).
This colleague has over the past few months divulged when she is on her period, when she has migraines, when she has a smear test, when she has a urinary tract infection.
I'm uncomfortable with this information being shared with me. I don't want to know any of these things about any of my colleagues, whether they are my team mates or not.
My question is twofold. How much personal information do you share with your colleagues and is what I've described considered 'oversharing'??
