How would you handle learning your co-workers created a group chat discussing you?
Sticks and stones break bones,but names and rumors don't hurt
The fact that my co-workers went out of their way to form an entire group chat just to discuss me is just kind of "wow!" In this situation, it is honestly one of two things: The first being that you are so extremely intimidating because your work ethic is insane and instead of approaching you, they need a group chat to discuss what should be done (I call this "office-fiction", its like fanfiction, but for the office lol); or the second option being... it is kind flattering actually because if multiple people are that intimidated by my "incredible work ethic" and have an issue with something that I may or may not have done and do not have the professionalism to address me as so
greetings my friend! POA, let them talk all they want, nobody ever paid attention to a dead horse, the bigger the chat room the bigger your success is. KARMA eventually catch up with everyone. be blessed my friend.
I wouldn't. It's freedom of speech. Besides, their opinion of me is none of my business. I value my peace of mind. Remember only the truth hurts. Stay calm and carry on.
Pray for them
I would ignore it until it became an HR issue or made a hostile work environment. At that point, I would discuss it with human resources.
I would pull individually every one off them in office and discuss about issue they have about me . Let them know that can't spread rumors and gasp. That's is if I am supervisor. If I am just employee o would report it to supervisor and he can explain that what they doing is wrong.
I would feel like a superstar! I’m doing something right if I am a team chat topic! Of course focus should be on monthly revenue, deadlines etc … Obviously it’s a job well done for me!
Let 'em chat! As long as they are talking about me, they are giving someone else a break.
If I was to find out something like that I’d probably just not care unless it comes to a point to where it is uncomfortable or degrading in my ear. My mom taught me to not chase a lie and let the haters hate. If it comes to that then it will be reported as such. It’s respect for the individual.
