i really hate office gossip --yes office chismis if you may call it. i don't know exactly why people 'love' to talk about personal lives and all. i mean you can do anything or perform your job well aside from pestering your officemate.
day to day office experiences has made me come up with this 3 things why people gossip:
1. you are pretty bored--admit it. the thing why you're doing this is because you're pretty bored. of course morning talks over the coffee and afternoon breaks are the perfect moment to gossip. from your officemates lesbian affair to hair styles, promotion/movements/resignation etc.;
2. you are damned insecure --well, you are so envious of the luck that your officemate has received. she/he got promoted and you, well, stagnant for three years and waiting for your life for the ultimate raise. and because you don't get what you want then, perfect moment to spin stories about your efficient officemate and;
3. your are not busy that's why -- yes and the thing is, you are forced to think differently and come up with this bad habit. if you are saying nasty things about your officemate well that's a clear sign of you are not performing your job well.
yes, we do love to talk about people's lives but can we just spare and let them live their lives to the fullest?
