English term or phrase: your mileage may vary
Keep in mind that when it comes to having fun in the workplace, your mileage may vary. Only you can assess your company's corporate culture and determine what kind of behaviors will fly, and which will get you called into the boss's office. If you find yourself in a management role, consider that fostering a fun work environment might have just as much of an impact on productivity than more expensive fixes, like higher pay rates and other traditional benefits and perks.

es mejor saber a qué atenerse/los parámetros puede variar
Explanation:
He tratado de buscar una expresión similar en castellano, pero no la encuentro.
Creo que la frase se aplica a la primera oración: alguien que trabaja en relación de dependencia debe interpretar las reglas no escritas de comportamiento: básicamente qué puede caer bien y qué no.

todo depende de tu caso concreto


Explanation:
Not really a guess, but almost.

Keep in mind that when it comes to having fun in the workplace, your mileage may vary.

Ten en cuenta de que cuando se trata de divertirse en el lugar de trabajo, todo depende de tu caso concreto. Sólo tú......etc....

Para no ceñirse demasiado a la redacción original, sino al sentido.

tus expectativas de progreso pueden cambiar


Explanation:
En un ambiente de trabajo jovial es fácil de caer en actuaciones no aceptables, particularmente ignorando lo que se puede decir en juego o perdiendo tiempo en cosas no productivas. Esto puede impactar tu progreso en la empresa. Por tanto, las expectativas pueden ser afectadas.
