As others have said if you are working with women it's unavoidable for the most part.

And if you aren't getting gossip they are probably gossiping about you NEGATIVELY.

The trick is just to listen and be empathetic.

NEVER give an opinion that can be used against you or one that can give them ammunition to turn on you.

You'll usually get women talking shyt about another woman and who she's fukking which is usually a manager.

This is why I hate working with too many females. They gossip too damn much, and if you don’t participate in it, they will make up stuff about you.

I never participate in workplace gossip nor do I reveal too much. It always backfires on you. It’s best to be lowkey and just do a good job

I'm just tryna work breh :mjcry: i'm not tryna know why Jenny has beef with Doug because of so-and-so :ld:


I just be nodding like "damn that's crazy" and go on my day, but that doesn't stop co-workers from unloading all their gossipy bullshyt on me every day :snoop:


because I have to work with these people everyday, telling them to fukk off doesn't seem like a viable option :demonic:

pssst... lemme tell you something, but, you ain't heard it from me...

Hell yeah it's avoidable...I'm an ignant Nygga on the Coli, but in real life my coworkers don't even CURSE around me, let alone GOSSIP....

I carry myself a certain way to where folks around me pick up quick "oh, he ain't on that"

It's been like that at every job. I be missing out on juicy deets, but Fck it..shyt ain't benefiting me

:yeshrug:

I've noticed...the quieter you are, the more information comes your way. I work in an office setting and I am somewhat quiet (not standoffish though). I'll engage in small talk when the setting calls for it.

With that being said, since I don't talk about people, I do notice people come to me to speak about others. I just listen.
This is me at work
Everybody tell me everything and I just listen.
Smh and back to work.

I work with cats 50 plus and they gossip like women, they gossip about people at work, people outside of work, people that used to work with us, they gossip about celebrities etc, the s**t is sickening. I chill and stay to myself. And I've called them out on it and they try to defend the s**t smh.

I've been working from home the last 5 yrs so the gossip has decreased dramatically
But I had one manager that kept messaging me about another subordinate he had that I worked closely with (both indians)
I just kept replying back "?" . I never typed a single letter in response to that bullshyt
He tried it like two or three times before he got the message. Keep that fakkit shyt over there man.
