The gossip has to end!

Hi blue, there always seems to be gossip in any workplace. Not sure what there is you could do to stop it other than to ignore it and not add to it. My boss refuses to listen to it. They are only hurting themselves in the long run because they ruin their own credibility. At my work, my boss almost didn't even bother to view the cameras when he heard that a woman...a co-worker..had walked out with stuff and didn't pay for it. He for whatever reason decided to listen for once and sure enough...the gossip was right but all too often it isn't and isn't even work-related. If it gets too vicious, he has stepped in because seriously...they are there to work and not create drama. He isn't paying them to stand around talking about each other.

Gossips in the office are not allowed, specially if it is already demeaning to a person. At the office, some also gossips, but not in a way to put down a person, but to just let friends know what happened to this and that. But as to what you narrated, they should be given a disciplinary action indeed. Someone should have the courage to tell the boss of what those 4 women are doing.

Oh, such people are scattered everywhere. you will be surprised as to how they can really destroy a person;'s life! I hate people who gossip as if there is nothing else to do in the world. Í tell you, it is best for you to just let them be.. and tell others not to believe them anyway.. they have no credibility and when people do not talk to them, eventually they would feel they are no longer heard and will hopefully just stop whatever it is they are enjoying to do.. to gossip that is.

Those people have a very bad attitude and need to be stopped. They are causing real problems in the workplace. Is the new boss on to them? I hope things get sorted soon.

A gossiper person will always to gossip and can ruin others life friends and etc. This is a destroying life of others,just want troubles,and no peace.. That person need to be corrected,and discipline.Any one can do it there if they know how to stop it. Let that person shame,and what She sow will also reap!

I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm now trying to get my first job and one of the things I'm most not looking forward to is the gossip that surrounds every work place. I've experienced first hand the damage work place gossip can cause. I dated a guy and I used to go see him after work, and one of his co workers made up an out of this world lie about me flirting with his friend. It nearly cost us our relationship. When you get out of high school, you expect to leave the childish drama behind, you figure the real world, the grown up, adult world is mature and responsible, and that as an adult people out grow gossiping and other childish traits reminiscent of highschool, but the sad truth is that pathetic, immature drama follows us throughout life and there's no way to escape it, you just have to work hard not to become a part of it.

Very true. A workplace isn't a real workplace when there is no gossip. I have dealt many times with companies like these. I don't know why some people loves to talk about their colleagues. One thing is for sure, the gossipers are insecure and not happy about their life. That's the reason why they wanted to see some people having a miserable life.
