On Gossip

Here's a question for everyone who works in a small, medium or large company.

How bad is the gossip? I'm trying to determine if my workplace is standard or if it is as brutal a gossip pit as it appears to be, i.e. if a man and a woman are seen having lunch together, well, then of course they are sleeping together.

It's toxic.

There is one story at my work about this woman who came in on the weekend and saw her boss and her co-worker doing the nasty in the office.

If that isn't enough, there is another woman who added that the couple doing it asked the other girl to join in.

However, one has to differentiate between gossip and scoops. Gossip is bad. Scoops are fun.

Medium Company here. Much gossip even with a small group of women working here. Biggest teller of gossip? A tie between one man, and one women. The kicker? Both are gossiping about the same employee.

Large company, lots and lots of gossip. But it's large enough that I think much of its impact is lessened. I don't think we've had any good scandals in a while.
