You're literally doing what you're complaining about. If you have a problem with the toxic environment you feel they're creating, talk to them directly instead of posting anonymously on an app for everyone in the industry to see. And if you're a dude, I hope you see the extra irony here ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’

There is a direct correlation between job satisfaction and the amount I gossip. When I felt like I had hit a dead end at my last job, and showing up each day became increasingly more difficult, gossip got me through the day. I loved knowing who wasn't getting along, political issues with agency partners, political issues in my own department, who was leaving next, where they were going and if they were qualified, unhappy clients, you name it. It was like a living breathing soap opera. Now that I'm at a new job and engaged in my work, I want nothing to do with gossip.

PREACH SAS1! Men do the same thing, you just don't notice it because you have confirmation bias. When men talk, it's not considered gossip. Let us live our lives, Jesus. If we need to vent about something, why do you have a problem with that? Bringing everything up to everyone is a waste of time and unproductive. Important things, sure. But most things are not worth it. Let us talk to our friend how we want. This post is ridiculous.

Lol, I was trying to show that gossip is a result of an unhappy employee. The act of gossiping doesn't directly make me unhappy. Though I do think complaining will only continue to make you unhappier. There's general gossip, and then there's mean-spirited gossip. Cutting people down in general is not ok. And I've heard both men and women do it about incredibly superficial things, like a person's appearance. Not cool. Talking about how one manager's approach is some sort of strategic political move in an effort to stonewall another department is engaged employees talking business.

People bitching (no matter the gender) is normally just people processing and venting. It doesn't make a toxic environment. It's human. And has been a part of the professional workplace since the days of Fred Flinstone. In fact, it's literally what you're doing with this post.
