The Rumor Mill is so real! People are so willing to spread and believe everything that it makes a person want to just hibernate and shelter in my room. Seriously, people say things as facts when it more of an assumption not fact. One teacher intentionally started a rumor just to see if people would spread it-they did! I guess if you want something told, just say it to the right person! How is gossip dealt with in you school? How frustrated does it make you feel when someone starts sharing?

Seriously! Some adults have never outgrown high school behavior. I am genuinely surprised by the things people will say and believe. Personally, I try to keep myself out of it all, just do my job, and go home. I don’t put a lot of thought or emotional energy into drama in any area of my life. Let people think what they want.

I just smile and shake my head. Sometimes I'll "tsk-tsk" like my Grandma used to do.

When I first started they told me that drama would not be tolerated and that they had to let a teacher go because of all the problems she caused . Thankfully everyone is pretty good about staying positive here, although I often wonder what is said behind my back.

Exactly! And unfortunately, at a previous I overheard people talking behind my back and it was really hurtful.

It seems to be human nature but it makes me sad

I've got 4 years at a staffing agency after getting Masters in HRM and making a complete career change in 2018. Doing full cycle recruiting and account management.

Hi Fishes,

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
