Pssssssssssssssssst…I heard…...
Some offices have managed to keep things professional and you don’t have to worry about people whispering on the corridors about your private business, because it belongs to you only, on the flipside others have taken the lack of office etiquette to the next level. and your horrified just to share a normal conversation with your workmate without running it first through your mind, and lets face it in most offices than in few.
In such offices I can promise you if you haven’t heard a rumor about yourself don’t get happy yet, yours is probably too horrifying that your friends haven’t gathered enough courage to spill it to you yet. There nothing travels faster than the latest gossip not even that handout that the news that someone may be getting the sack..
You haven’t heard your story then you haven’t been to the real work place yet, you’re either doing too much working which I doubt or you don’t have a network. You know a network? that guy at work who has everyone’s scoop and the latest if I might add, from who is dating who to who dumped who first ,who slept with who, whose relationship is on the rocks to who is the latest baby mama even before the boyfriend learns that hell be a father, that’s a network for you. Just before you digest yesterday’s goss they drop today’s.
Sure thing everyone has a story to be told from that socially awkward guy who never speaks to anyone in class to that loud drunk ever at the receptionist desk.. No one shall be unheard from and the networks shall make sure of that.
And we have all been there, there in the headlines, featuring in the latest scandle.there after spending a weekend back at home with family only to hear the next week that you spent your weekend with your boss in some lodging and you wonder when that happened?. The wildest things have been said and will be said, things you never did never thought of doing and if you did them you dint do them that way, but the shocking story is the one that is true and that’s the one that gets to you the most, because if you wanted the whole office to know about your love life you would have left your diary in the reception and made things a lot easier for the nets. You wouldn’t also have bothered to spend your bus fare traveling to a town far away from town to do your private business only to hear about it the next day with the nets.
But who is fooling who? Who is this telling out the tinniest little details of our lives? I’ll tell you who, you, you are! you sat your friend the same day told her/him what you’ve been upto during the weekend and made her promise not to tell anyone else, well news flash she just broke the promise and made someone else make the same promise. Quite frankly you’ve broken a few promises yourself. You get, we are the sources and sometimes the channel in this whole gossip thing.
Therefore its double standards, you get to hear someone’s story they get to hear yours too. So dig in lets spread the gossip you can be sure yours is floating somewhere. Your enjoying someone’s story, someone else is rolling flat on there stomach enjoying one of yours. Enjoy.
so what was told about you?
