Don’t Gossip at Work

Let’s face it. We all love a good gossiping session. We love to talk about what other people are doing or what they have done when it has nothing to do with us. It is what workers do when they have nothing better else to do or they are in a mindless job. Because they are in a job that doesn’t require much thinking, they need something to stimulate their brain and so they occupy themselves with innate chatter and malicious stories.

The problem is, if you find yourself in a gossiping session and you don’t join in, your coworkers may see you as stuck up or taking sides. But really, the gossiping needs to stop with you. If you see something or hear something, don’t spread the gossip at all. And if you find yourself in a gossiping session, look as though you are gossiping without ever doing it. Don’t add to the conversation just say “Oh ok, I didn’t know that” and leave it there.

The problem with gossiping is not only that it can all be false information and is far from the truth, but if others see that you are gossiping, they are less likely to trust you. But if you don’t go about spreading gossip, your colleagues will see you as a loyal friend and someone that they can confide in and who wont go about spreading the information.
