The 7 Rules of Good Gossiping
I believe that you can indulge in a little on-the-job gossip safely and without guilt, as long as you follow these seven rules:
[LIST=1]
[*]Only gossip now and then, and be aware of who is listening.
[*]Don't spend too much time with known office gossips, or you may be judged guilty by association.
[*]Listen carefully, but say as little as possible. Don't appear to be an ambulance chaser or a tattletale so that you can be the one with the scoop.
[*]Work on the principle that whatever you say will be repeated. Think about the implications of this before you speak.
[*]Consider the source of gossip and the source's hidden motives. People sometimes plant information to manipulate a situation.
[*]Do not bad-mouth people; your comments will often come back to haunt you as alliances shift in the workplace.
[*]If something you say gets back to a friend or colleague in a way that you wish it hadn't, apologize and be honest. This is the only way of salvaging your reputation and limiting the damage.
