Office Gossip

In most offices there is office gossip. Whether it's true or not has the potential to be damaging and hurtful. For the most part it centers around who is about to get fired and /or demoted. But sometimes the Head Gossip takes things to far and like in my case which I will discuss in future blogs. Any who I have learned that you must cut it off at the past. here's what i did.
