Have you come across a workplace gossip?
Thank you for your wonderful words, Jaz! I appreciate so much the opportunity to provide value.
Earplug in my non listening phone ear ✌️
Yes
@@JenniferBrick your videos are so helpful muaaaah 😘💏
@@JenniferBrick I want to meet you alone in my life with lots of gifts 🤗 hugs and love 😘
Don’t trust your coworkers. They are not your friends. Period.
That is very good advice.
Even someone you've worked with for 20 years?
Noted
Facts
@@purepit4ever1200 I met my girlfriend and some close friends at work so I have to disagree
Even if you don't participate, they will still target you 🤷🏻♂️ haters gonna hate
Sooooooo true and the only solution is leave the place to save your mental health.
It is because they are bad workers.
This is so true
So sad that those gossipers rule everything and the boss loves them
Facts! It’s everywhere you go. Pitiful and sad!
It's so hard to avoid gossip when the whole workplace gossips. Sometimes you get so sucked into the conversation and don't realise until it's too late that you have gossiped.
Even the guys can fall guilty/victim of this. It tends to be in relation to someone's work ethic or lack thereof.
You can't stop gossip. Gossip is human nature. Telling people to stop gossiping is like telling a newlywed couple not to have sex.
@@SerotoninSorbet that is true, going through that now and learned a hard lesson
lol. 'you have gossiped' as in, you have sinned. gossip can be fun. but like evrything it can be corrupted. the few inevitable toxic people will corrupt it into toxic hate for their own benefit. the trick is to reclaim gossip for fun not for their benefit. get rid of the toxic ones and gossip can be fun if kept ligth and inconsequential. when they try weaponise it into abusing people thats the problem.
The worst is when they start to ostracise you because you don't partake of it😯
Another tip is to keep busy and when on your break, go for a personal walk, away from the environment. I find that helps me everyday.
Good advice! Ty!
Thanks
I'm a silent person in the office ... those peeps also gossip you with no reason
If someone is gossiping about others, then they are most certainly gossiping about you behind your back.
Forgive in leave it in God’s Hands, believe in Him with all your heart and He will repay:
“Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Romans 12:19-21
My policy is never, ever be without headphones. Nothing is more effective than smiling politely as you insert your earbuds. Also I do this when the conversation inevitably drifts to sex...
Good tip and WTF people are discussing sex at work. Maybe I'm just a prude but that seems really inappropriate (and like a lawsuit waiting to happen).
Ikr? I wear ear phones while on my breaks lol
There was a woman at work who made it known to me in a indirect way that she thought I was gay.I just played along with it,she talked about everyone.I did not let my co workers into to much of my personal life.
Wish I could do that but they don't allow earbuds otherwise I would
Once you find out who the gossiper is never trust them again.
There are people that talk bad about someone and a little later act as nothing ever happened in the workplace, other just started in a job and act as they are in charge, some watch videos instead to be working during work hours, there are also some workers that talk trash about the other that is in the next cubicle, and there are the ones that keep making silly conversations in the middle of the office while others want to WORK, I guess those are just some of the reasons that many want to work from home, the problem is NOT the work itself, the problem is the co-worker's behavior, so please people, WORK and stop talking so much.

I started work a week ago. A lady was giving me a tour of the place. When we got to the break room to show me the clock in machine. She immediately said, "be careful, everyone here gossips, chisme comes from everywhere"... i said ok how do you use the clock in machine to change the convo. Ughhh, its quite honestly annoying.
The most beautiful way to neutralize gossip is when people talk negative about you, then you
talk positive about them;)
I DO NOT do gossip. Office gossip is the worst. So trashy.
I agree with do so much on this!!
you sound like a lovely person.
You don't gossip? That's the first time in the history of the human race.
The hard thing about gossip is that sometimes you uncover actual harm that people think is okay but they’re actually dealing with something. I was a mid twenties supervisor to a team of a wide range of 16-30 year olds, and on multiple occasions I discovered unacceptable conduct from the same culprits to some of my younger women and girls, and even sometimes men in their so called “gossiping”. Some so severe people needed to get fired.

Office gossip is so boring and lame. That is the main reason, why I am a freelancer. No drama and toxicity. I love it.
me exactly
Once someone show they are not trustworthy don’t trust them again.

Thank you for clarifying good and bad gossip, and what constitutes personal connections at work. I tend to shut off completely and it does keep you out of the loop, and people tend to talk about you more, not less and they try harder to rope you in!
The positive attitude thing can be flipped easily and still discussed... I guess people will talk about you no matter what! 😂 Thanks for your tips!
My former office has a no rumor and innuendo policy. They also have a trustworthiness policy. Nobody follows the policies.
Doesn't matter what the hell I do. I'm always in it for some reason. I DONT EVEN DO ANYTHING, I LITERALLY DO MY JOB AND GO HOME. WHY BRING MY NAME INTO IT? WHY CANT YOU DO THE SAME?
Feel you so much on this
Same bro, I try to tell myself, " Just quick your head down and do your job, nope, they somehow find a way to talk shit"
You know how, When someone gossip about someone you gotta give them cold shoulder that will happen when you not react on what they and involve in their lala land and Also, to save your back if you really have to reply just say it something positive. For eg. someone says oh you know she or he s just not doing his job you can reply back yes may be may be they have alot in their plate. You will notice the face of gas lighter will start changing colors.
@@Rrrrcc4666 Yeah, and then they'll start talking smack about you. It's a never ending cycle.
Not taking part in gossip makes you are target, it's messed up!
I confronted the person gossiping about me and all they did was deny it and turn it around on me & call me a liar. It is very hurtful when you are the subject.
This just happened to me lmao. I told her I don't appreciate her talking behind my back and she said "I wasn't talking about you" and the gossip continues. People never change
My co-workers are always gossiping and always concerned about who's here, who isn't. They have been told countless times that its nobody's business. Management told them that, but they just laugh and continue gossiping. Its so annoying
Alhamdulilah
Islam forbids gossip and regards it as a major sin
I'm avoiding by avoiding my colleagues 😂, unfortunately was the only way out, I was feeling stressed out, the last straw was when they accused an ex colleague of many things out loud, for me this is unprofessional.
I try hard not to be a gossiper. I have no problem saying something nice when I really like the person. It’s hard to use that approach when you also find that person hard to work with.
3:26. That is gossip. Saying something positive is gossip and participating. Best to stay silent. PERIOD.
Helpful stuff. And I do also avoid them as much as possible but sometimes you have no choice but to work with them. I will note one thing: you said no one can have anything bad to say about you if you're always positive. Not exactly. People will still look for something to gossip about you even when you’re doing everything right.
Yup I ran my mouth and it bit me in the but then fold. God says you reap what you sow. So I own my messiness and am now moving forward.
I don’t be in the break room to avoid gossip
You can try to eliminate workplace gossip/rumors, but it will never go away unless you bug the entire workplace and then management can go full on KGB on them.
Even then, I'm sure it would land on secret chat apps 🙃
@@JenniferBrick workplace gossip has a way of getting back to the person. There is always someone listening go what is being said and they will inform the person. It will be hard for the person to accept because they feel backstabbed and a lot of trust has been eliminated.
What is KGB 😮
Hells yah! I try to stay away from those peeps as much as possible lol.
Everywhere I've worked, from my personal experience, Latina ladies would do that more than any other races.
I’m so sick of the director gossiping to everyone about other people especially one specific director that she doesn’t like. It’s so uncomfortable and I can’t stand it. I am getting anxious about working there and I want to leave.
when you thought about it, start working on it. yeah it will take time but better than doing it when you are desperate
I don’t know about any gossip at my job because I avoid those people like the plague 😂
From experience I just do my job but I talk to my co workers on matters at hand pertaining to the job. It doesn’t matter if you participate in gossip either way someone will talk some negative things about you.

I remember my high school principal who I told confidentiality information to privately in his office, go and tell a teacher, who at the time wasn’t my teacher. That same day she told me and I was mad at hell at him for it. He wasn’t truly remorse for it
I here it all the time in the warehouse I work in. I really don't care personally. I just do my job and stay cordial.
My coworker told me the manager told him where I was at in the store cause she wanted to know where I was at - & that I was on her nerves that day cause she was having a bad day😂 it’s dumb gossiping behind my back

This is one of the reasons that people don't like the office environment, UT us just a gossip mill. I work in NYC and this guy I work with told his co-worker privately that he was approached by a prostitute on the subway. She was so aggressive, he could barely get away from her. That private story spread around the whole company, it was crazy.
I’m at work to do a job even if I don’t like a person you still remain professional when someone gossips I walk away I wasn’t always like that are used to participate, but it will come back to haunt you even if you’re not really a big gossip or you could just participate one time, so just mind your business and go to work and go home
I was a workplace gossiper and surprise surprise! My name was ALWAYS in DRAMA. I'm over it and I just want to start over and stay out of it!!!! Is this possible? 😭
I feel you. My whole workplace gossips so it's so hard to keep out of it. Sometimes you start talking sh*t and don't realise until it's over. Need to stop oversharing and learn to recognise when someones trying to gossip and stay silent.
Me too! I became a nosy friend and I love listening to other's drama! I think I'll be silent on it and just not talk about it to people who know them. Control our mouths and count from 1 to 100 til we forget. 👌🙄
It is! I'm a work in progress, and a few years ago I was always embroiled in the workplace drama. I've done pretty good for the most part this past year. I found myself sucked into the drama and negativity when some systemic problems at all levels of the workplace started to really stress all of us out, but I'm realizing that I'm getting sucked back into it and pulling myself back out. Changing behavioral patterns can take time, so don't be too hard on yourself. Just keep doing the best you can. That's all we can do.
It’s 100% possible. I would never start it, but I used to get sucked into it. I’m older and anti social now lol. It helps
I've messed up and gotten involved in it as well. Now I feel guilty and sick. I'm always the person who just wants to do my thing and go home.
You are spot on Miss Brick thanks for the advice. I'm back working on the mines.
Im not in an office spaced environment my crew has over 50 operators so there's always gonna be different personalities. We have a lunch crib room which is quite open, I hear alot of garbage,bitching,complaining. I sit outside in the outdoor seating away from the smokers area where theres more gossip. I have my headphones on watching TH-cam. If i don't hear it ,I don't worry nor care I just concentrate on myself.
.
I was going to end of shift work drinks when I first started but i stopped doing that now after seeing true colors from some individuals
I just started, and I am paid to be nice and sympathetic, which is also who I am. And they are gossiping about the way I am “always nice” and how my first week I was “perfect” (which isn’t even true).
What’s their fck problem?

It would be great if you did a video on the difference between friends and colleagues..I have aspergers so it is terribly difficult to navigate the office politics lol . Love the video ❤️you’ve already been an immense inspiration to me thank you 😊.
That's such a good question. I have Aspergers too and it can be very difficult for us alright.
Excellent tips. I'm going back to work after a week long vacation treading it because of all the gossip. These tips have helped my get a handle on the gossip.

i’m literally new into this and i’m going thru it, i feel this just happens bc we wanna talk with them or make convo but lmaoo
This comments section proves that women are annoying and that even women can’t stand women. I deal with this bs at every job and with men, the threat of violence keeps the respect there, but with women it’s whole different ball game. I’m an attractive guy and get into bs with unattractive women all the time. Simply because I don’t participate in gossip, meaningless flirting, or work place competition and for some reason this makes them feel insecure being in the presence of a man and he isn’t flirting.
Yeah I didn’t flirt with the girls at my last job and they spread a rumor that I was gay…
True. The men at work stay to themselves and aren’t chatting around. Meanwhile the women huddle around in the back corner where management won’t see them and talk all day about meaningless things.
I always say "hmm"
Unless it's a funny story about myself? I don't have something to share.
Sooo, I'm a flight attendant...
Our base is small (40 flight attendants) and being stuck on a tight plane with 3 other flight attendants, it's so hard not to fall victim to work place gossip. I'm sucked I'm before I know it.
I'm really trying to do better. I don't talk much to my coworkers to try to avoid the gossip and drama, but that creates rumors about me..
All of your videos are so good.
As for gossip you MUST play The Game, like it or not. It's a reality and this is just the way it is. What's important to discover is how much credibility the gossip has with your co-workers. There IS good gossip and bad gossip. There is work related gossip and personal gossip. Example: "Jenny is always late for this or that job duty." Work related gossip. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. Second example. "Jenny is a Ho." That's personal gossip. Maybe this is or is not true about Jenny. Don't do any personal gossip.
What an excellent video on this topic. Definitely one to recommend.
So glad you found it helpful, Nora!
I don't work in an office I can't see behind closed doors
On the work shop floor on camera all day working hard graft on if someone wanna have a nice chat about any problems the may or may not have with me 😊 trying to stay happy and positive😊
Confrontation didn't work for me. Thank you for sharing
Dislike office gossip.
Same 🙌
I have been in this situations a lot
Good information
I try to stay away do my jod go home and stay away from the break room and do my best to think before I speak
I learned the hard way your co workers arent your friends dont talk to them. And don't talk bad about others.
Keep your mouth shut.
People are always gonna talk. And my anxiety 🙃 oof.

When they ask me about other ppl I say if they don’t tell you I’m not either. Or I’ll say ask them what you’re asking me.
If a worker was going around telling co-workers that you are after their job and it is not true, is that legal? If a co-worker was encouraging other co-workers to harass you, is that legal?
I work in a very small dental office and my cowrker comes into my room talks about schedule and then goes into slamming others. She is the office bully. I'm not sure how to tactfully deal with this.
Does changing the topic work? Evening the conversation sure to the with you have to do?
Tip 3 is a surefire way to make yourself the target for their next gossip. Oh there is ms goody two shoes she thinks she is so positive and so above everyone… etc
So I have a situation that happened yesterday I work in the dental field I just barely started and my lead, the office manager, and the hygienist they love to gossip and a doctor who just got hired about 2 weeks ago had admitted that he loves the office gossip too how can I deal with that.
The managers normally spread the gossip and I had bosses in my last store do that.
I’m Muslim it’s forbidden to gossip , in the Quran it says it’s like eating the flesh of your deceased brother ! Smh I stay away from gossiping , 🤷🏾♂️
I am going through a big life change and have been struggling. My colleagues have made up lies about me and now i feel watched and stressed. I have informed the relevant people that these are lies but how do i deal with this? A newbie to your channel 😊
Same. I hope it’s better for you now:)
@@shadowbannedagain6753 I'm in a new enviroment and much better place now. Although still experiencing toxic behaviour from individuals at work.
@@amberrose6427 me too. I am getting it pretty bad. Just blatant lies. And people believe it and treat me differently. I hope it gets better for us both.
@@shadowbannedagain6753 I hope it gets better for you too!
Quit
As soon as I talked about money, they went quiet because they don't want to expose it
I've done that before - eg saying something positive about a co-worker but then can often get raged at for how wrong I am and half the time I will end up backing down and agreeing with the person just for a quiet life. I am weak!!😔

I appreciate your video. However, I had a coworker that by what you are describing, is the office gossip. The warrned me about how terrible a certain indivual was, and it turned out to be true. Does this warring still constitue as toxic office gossip?

What causes the gossip is frustration not expressed. Its going to happen. Express the frustration in a empathetic construtive way.
Is saying “I don’t know. None of my business” and changing the subject, acceptable?
How can I tell when it’s gossip??? For example a co worker tells me how someone has not done a job properly. Is that gossip???
Ya they target me when I don't join their gossip sessions as I have work n hv to prep for exam I guess they have sensed that n indirectly targeting me by saying that u look sad did u fight at home bla bla n make fun of me how to deal with that and one person who is real gossiper I mean head gossiper really mean knows am studying n can't see that so she can't directly confront me but can instigate others to do her work ... please tell me way to handle that
4:52 Horror sound scared me😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG sorry!! 😂😂
Is that also applicable if you're friends with them on social media?
This is a personal decision, and it depends on which social and what you share.
What if my manager is the office gossip!

Oh God it's pretty much everyday
So where is the line to create relationships with staff? Bc I fell in to the loop 🤪 I've warning qualified nieve employees getting looped in to the escape goats moster?bc I say words like tred lightly with what u share when they ask.or being an empath and the target narcissist guns for them.

My supervisor was the source of all the drama by recruiting flying monkeys.
I don't think you can...hahahahaha. Gossip is a part of life. Everyone has been there. I just try to gage the level and determine if it is extra or normal. If it is extra, something needs to be done. If not I will not allow any person including myself to go through that. I don't want any one to cry in front of me. I will cry too and then whoop the gossipers booty and then what? but seriously......I don't think work should be a humiliation ritual.
Coworkers are not your friends. Two people I work with seem all buddy buddy on the surface, but I personally witnessed each one criticize the other one when that person was not present. One even said the other one was not a good fit for their job, which seemed really low to me. That is not something a real friend would say about you.

I think they do it out of boredom and because they're a asshole. Its not hard to mind your own business at work. I hate it when they try to include you in the gossip, that happened to me not too long ago, I wasnt thinking then and gave a somewhat vague response, idk i try to keep to myself, just makes me a target though

“Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Romans 12:19-21
work gossip, is like school gossip sometimes, I like to hear good gossip
I’m sorry I’m not going to go to work just because you want to move in to the country. You don’t get to hold that crap over my head. You should’ve thought about that before you all wanted a green card. Don’t change the equation now, 17 years down the line. Stay in your boundaries!!
Are women natural born gossipers? Or are these just a toxic select? The worst workplaces I've experienced were lead and dominated by women. There are of course very capable women, reliable and practicing good work ethic.

What if you are white bread White and everyone else is speaking another language but you can hear GRINGA being tossed around every other second? Asking on behalf of my white friend

I have vented my heart to the wrong person (let's call her M.) about a situation involving a colleague (let’s call her B.) I have not spoken to anyone about this except M.
M. went to my colleague B. and told a twisted version of what I said. You can already see where this is going.
I have tried to put it right, but unfortunately that didn't work.
An example of what she been telling to B:
M. told my colleague B. that I told M. to be careful of B. and that she is not working properly etc. I never said this. But ofcourse no will believe me.
Of course I am at fault here. I should’ve gone to B. instead and tell her how I felt, which at times can be difficult when dealing with a dominant person🥲
Or go to my supervisor.
So my lesson for this is don’t be naïve and/or trust someone blatantly. And go to the person directly and/or your supervisor.
PS: this happend at a children’s daycare where most of my colleagues are women, so you can imagine how troublesome it can be when it comes to gossiping😅
