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 ๐๐๐
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.
OP: I'm being sexist.
Everyone: That's correct, you are being sexist.
OP: Hypocrites!
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.
If you got some 411 girl, spill, gush... indulge a mofo. Banners are all the more reason to gossip, need the drama to drown these useless media buys.
Men I work with are less emotionally stable and talk more shit than any woman in my agency
How about it's just those specific women in your office, and not all women everywhere always? The generalization is a large part of the sexism.
I fucking loathe office gossipers. Passive aggression is an admission that you do not want to solve problems. If you're just a busybody, that's quaint and insipid.
Are you serious? You know how many men live for the fucking office gossip? Especially juniors.
The best gossip I receive is from men.
Might be paranoid they're talking about you...? It does bother me when folks do this while blocking the coffee though.
Lololol the only person that agreed with OP is milo yiannopoulos
I NEVER hear fucking dudes talking shit about each other in the elevators. It's making me more sexist than I should be. That should make me feel guilty, but ugghhhh... please stop. If you have a problem with someone please talk to them directly, set a clear boundary and don't make a toxic environment for the rest of us.
Omg fragile men. Your power is slipping away. Blame women. Repeat.
"Be a nice person or shut the fuck up." Yeah! Fuck passive-aggression! Irony and aggressive-aggression all the way!
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.
^ Who turned on Fox News?
Yeah, office gossip is what's ruining this country.
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.
Let's ppl vent. Especially if you're just overhearing it; be like Kermit, drink a lit'l tea.
I never said all women! If I need to vent let me vent! Don't be hypocrites.
