Gossip Folks: Or Why You Can't Keep a Secret


So, today we had this big to-do over a conference call announcing the departure of two executives from our firm. No real warning, some people had suspected but not confirmed, etc etc etc.

Now, the manager officiating at said conference call says, just before adjourning, "You know how the rumor mill is here. Let's not substantiate or contribute to it." Or something to that effect. I didn't hear it all, I had to go pee.

Meanwhile, less than an hour later, what am I listening to? The girl in the next cubicle over recapping the story of the two executives...hmm, very interesting. You think this is bad? You should hear what they say when someone finds out two coworkers are sleeping together.

As long as they're over 18, it's their own damn business if they're doing the deed!

I caught hell for dating a coworker a few years ago, and certain people continue to be assy about it... even though we're getting married in a few months! So annoying.
