How do you rebuild trust in a team when gossip and side conversations have replaced open communication? I’m struggling with this at the moment

Let me tell you what NOT TO DO! We had an incident where our District Manager.. during a meeting threatened the team with disciplinary action if the side conversations and gossip (which actually ended up to be exposed as true) did not stop. Which actually made it worse. Within my little team (3 people) I spoke to each person individually and noted their concerns. I took those concerns to my District Manager. Next meeting, she asked every team lead to do the same. As I am currently on LOA, I am not allowed to be at meetings. But I have spoken to a couple of the leads, they say things are slowly getting better.. but fear of retaliation is keeping some people silent and it's not enough... Yet

Yikes, that’s a crazy story. Thanks for telling it.

Read ‘The five dysfunctions of a team’ and then move from there. It does sound like things are being handled in the right way. However, gossip has to be stamped out from the top.
I can honestly say in the last company I worked in gossip was never done around me, and it was never done while I was in any group because I would not stand for it.
It is a waste of time and it’s unprofessional.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
