Here's a good one. Our manager decided to forbid gossiping in our office going forward. Admittedly, the gossip and cattiness in the office is out of control. But how is a policy like this enforceable? This is going to be a nightmare.

They can’t prevent it from happening, however they can put such policy in place to let employees know this behavior is punishable by formal discipline. Most won’t get caught, but if they do, getting disciplined will be a wake up call for the accused and for those who engage in such behavior. They’ll at least be more cautious. I like this policy actually 😂. Gossip is so toxic in the workplace.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
