I had a conversation with a group of friends about gossip. What is gossip
based on? Intuition, speculation, innuendo. Envy? Some took the high road
and said gossip was unhealthy, undignified, a blight in all circumstances.
Others said it was OK, sometimes, in moderation. One person said gossip
plays a vital role in building community, solidarity. Another said, if you
want to go places, to both be and appear clued-in in the workplace, you had
better be indulging. The last person made me think and said, we gossip on
many levels -- the workplace level, the national level, the international
level.
The national level? The international level? Do we really? Your thoughts
appreciated.
