Talking behind their back
If there's one thing I hate, it's talking behind coworker's backs.
I have coworkers who talk about people all the time, and they ask me "Why are you so quiet?" I've told them I would just rather not talk about someone with them there. They said, "Oh, don't be silly! We aren't gossiping! We are totally not like that, but come on you've got to have an opinion about so and so. It's not gossip it is just sharing your opinion!"
Now, you tell me: is that "opinion" or gossip?!
It's gossip. I call it workplace cancer. It spreads as well as destroys the healthy relationships we develop at work as well as hurts people . As a manager of a major retailer I don't tolerate gossip and my suggestion to you is stay way away from it when others start talking find yourself something to do .
That is a opinion because you right about that some people talk about other people and then go tell them what you said about them .
Sandra you got some stupid ass co workers. If this is their normal then you stay clear of it. I promise you that it's going to lead to trouble... It always does.
If u talking behind someone bk that's just gossip that no way around that
In other words tell them if they have a problem with person tell them in their face. Because just like they or talking about them . They will do the same to you.
