Nope, I live by “if they gossip to you, they’ll gossip about you.” If people want to share something with me, fine, but it’s not going anywhere after that

Office gossip on feels, no. Office gossip on trajectory of the company - somehow someone likely tells me something.

I have a rental property and my tenant is asking me to change the fridge light burb. I live out of state and don’t have property manager locally. Is it bad if I ask them to change the fridge light burb themselves?

I’m pretty responsive for things they need help with like laundry machine got broken or pantry doors fell off. So I had sent people to fix those maintenance and repair issues.

But light burbs? Srlsy? They are grown up people (fresh out of college girls)
