You know who they are--most likely disgruntled workers who didn't get something their way, disagreed with a change of direction and are now holding grudges, or didn't get that promotion they felt entitled to.
  • Does the chitchat rejoice in the misfortune of others? Yep, gossip.
  • Does it have a negative emotional charge or seem to perpetuate conflict or negativity? Gossip again.
  • Does it hurt or damage the one being spoken of? Would you say it in front of this person's face?
  • Is it an unsubstantiated rumor about another employee's work situation? Uh-huh, gossip.

OUTSTANDING !
 
















You have every right to stick your head in the sand and believe Novo is a great company to work for. I/we who look at past actions and expect them to be an indicator of future results, have the right to be skeptical. Remember: Novo always does the right thing, until they don’t. Do a quick review of the past 7-8 years if you’re in doubt.

Rather than take some anonymous passive aggressive stance against gossip, why not just have a conversation with someone you believe to be gossiping? If you want it to stop, then go stop it. Otherwise, keep the self-righteous garbage to yourself.

PSA for you Mr./Mrs. Holier Than Thou: You DO NOT have to come to CP. You can do your part in curbing gossip by not seeking it out. Also, GFY you self-important A-hole.
