Trial for today: How do you stop gossip and bad mouthing at work without seeming "rude," "mean," or "unconcerned" with the gossiper's issues?  If you have any ideas, let me know.  If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, right?  Well, easier said than done..that means you have to be quiet all day.  I have to find a nice balance, I suppose.

  1. I hope you can find a balance.....simply state your stance (kindly) "I don't gossip" or maybe "I appreciate you wanting to share this with me, but I don't want to talk about another person without them being here to defend themselves" These coworkers should know by now what you just don't want to take part in such nonsense! You will find the words, I have ALL the faith in you....Love you.
