Office Gossip

[winnieb]

Okay- we hear it everyday, office gossip..... Any good stories....Is your rumor mill generally accurate?

My office has been abuzz this week, it is getting crazy. Last week we had a sales person at one of our branch offices quit, rumor on Monday was the girl that quit was a lesbian and the other guy in the office couldn't deal with a lesbian. But by Thursday afternoon the rumor is the girl quit because she was having an affair with her boss, the vp- a man. So in 3 days we have gone from the girl quitting because of her sexual orientation to she was sleeping with the vp.
Rumor mill also says the above mentioned vp was getting fired today... No announcement was made, I am assuming he is still employed. According to the stories he is getting fired for hooking up with one of his direct reports, flying her on vaca with him for the weekend, and then he expensed it all.
I swear the place is crazy this week. It goes on and on and on. (and sadly the rumor mill is fueled by the lady who sits outside of my office door!)

Office rumor mill isn't too active, and generally it's work-related (who is leaving, who isn't happy, etc.). There isn't too much personal information that goes through, although once in a while the more gossipy people in the office will mention something.

My last office was the same way, but my college job was very much a rumor mill; everyone was trying to get involved in everyone else's personal lives. Very frustrating at times.

I'm in the marketing department. Part of our job is spreading the rumors.

Like sharing tales about BoogerFingers, the crass and ettiquette-challenged young man that sits down the hall. If you borrow his laptop, make sure to disinfect your entire body after the experience.

Seriously, we all call him BoogerFingers. You figure out why.

/EarWaxEater was already taken, but it also applies to him.

Every finance job I had involved spreading rumors about how your coworkers are gay or how someone got a job because they blew a managing director or something.
