Is there anyway to turn off bookmark suggestions when I search in the chrome bar? Somethings that I save are personal and I use the account for work and am around employees a lot of the time. It is major privacy concern for me. 

 
Labels: Type-Feature
Unfortunately, no.

There is a setting "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar" in the privacy settings, but this only pertains to suggestions generated by the serverside prediction service. Suggestions generated locally, such as from bookmarks, are still enabled.

If you need to separate your private and work bookmarks (or generally, personae), I recommend using separate Chrome profiles. Note that you can have multiple Chrome windows from different profiles open at the same time.
Status: WontFix (was: Untriaged)
Yes - this exact case is addressed by using separate Chrome profiles.
