I can’t think of a bigger waste of time than “Workplace Gossip”. I’m not sure how much time per day, week, or year gets wasted but I bet it’s very substantial. Why does everyone feel the need to share their entire life with fellow employees. Are we you best friends or are you just looking for someone to talk to? I thought that is what “Social Networking Sites” are for.

Don’t get me wrong, I like and care about my fellow workers. I like to know certain things but some things are best left at home. I have enough stress with my own life and really don’t need anymore. But, in the same breath, if you really need an ear let me know and I’ll meet you after work to listen.

FaceBook is the website of gossip… let me tell you this, or that. Here is the best recipe ever. Did you know…, and it goes on and on. When I look at Facebook I see a bunch of retired people, out of work people, or people with nothing else to do except go on a website and gossip. I just don’t care if you hate someone else, or you eat out every night at fast food restaurants.  It’s your business and not mine.

So instead of bringing it to the workplace take it to Facebook! That way if people want to know they can read it, if not they don’t have to hear about it.

This is not personal to anybody so nobody please take any offence.
