According to Sam Chapman, author of The No Gossip Zone: A No-Nonsense Guide to a Healthy, High-Performing Work Environment, choosing to avoid the workplace gossip scene starts with you. Some key steps you can take? Well, "simply ask your coworkers to please no longer gossip around you" and second, remove yourself from office gossip. The key is to take ownership for 100% of your job so that "you no longer blame other people for ruining your day, not meeting deadlines, etc."
What are the benefits of being gossip-free?
- No worries about being labeled the office busy-body.
- No need to bother substantiating any scandals.
- No guilt over repeating something deemed untrue later.
- Negative people no longer seek you out.
- Others, hopefully, will follow suit. Your positive attitude will be appealing.
Keep communicating people!
