TrainingBriefs® Workplace Gossip & Rumors
Understanding the Impacts of Gossip & Rumors
So why do people start gossip and spread rumors? Much of it has to do with our need to make sense of what's happening around us. To understand what's going on, people talk to one-another. And, together, they fill in the holes in the story with a little bit of fact – and a lot of guesswork or subtle innuendo.
