Having Fun All The Time

Just saw this article, also, about gossip, and had to post it…maybe it was a follow-up to the article from last week; I dunno…..:

At my last job, gossip was rampant. So many people had negative attitudes. Workers would become frustrated if one person was slacking off, so they’d vent about it.

I, for one, was afraid to say anything because I didn’t know who might repeat something I said, change it around or use it against me. People would even gossip about what others did on the weekend, like what bar they went to. It was every man for himself, and it was uncomfortable.

There’s a greater sense of being part of a team here than in other jobs I’ve had. If employees do violate the company policy, a manager speaks to them, and if they don’t stop, they’re let go. It has happened.
