| Why do people gossip? Any number of reasons - to get attention, to appear "in the know" and even to vent frustrations. It's rare to find a workplace that doesn't have some degree of gossip going around. Many people recognize they shouldn't participate in gossip, yet do so anyway. In a new job, it may be especially tempting to engage in gossip to "fit in", while at the same time getting all the the scoop on your co-worker. But do you really want to have the reputation of being a gossip hound? Best to keep yourself out of it, whether dishing it out or listening to it. The office gossip may be entertaining, but beware - remember that whoever gossips to you, is likely to gossip about you! |

My Coaching

| Get an edge over the competition |
| No matter what your previous work situation and colleagues were like, refrain from bad mouthing them at your new place of work. You'll come off as bitter, angry and disloyal. Insulting your previous workplace is a sure way to encourage mistrust. If people ask you about your last company or the people there, be as honest as possible without being disparaging. Recognize and point out the good things that came out of your last work experience. Keep in mind that bad mouthing will say more about you than about others. |
