Depends on whether they are gossiping about others or about you. If it is about you, confront them the gossipers. If it is about others, be polite but turn a deaf ear. If it is about the company, coming layoffs, a merger etc. pay attention and consider how it might affect you.

I always gossip at work. The best was when we were gossiping about the *married* manager sleeping around and offering special benefits to those he slept with. I honestly don't care about how morally or religiously wrong it is because we're all human and we all do it. I don't consider it gossiping, I consider it talking. I know how to be discreet and not get caught, and that's all that matters. Besides, if people really did gossip on a regular basis, would they own up to it? Certainly not.

Gissip and rumors about me, I believe, is always good.



I've always said, "People might call me pinhead, but at least they 'call me'" *LOL*



If the rumor is negative, someone's bound to tell you about it.



If people do not talk about you, then you're either boring and/or live a boring life.

Ignore it, everybody has his or her life to life.

**My advice live it to the fullest.***

Once it's not about you, don't get invovled, (just do what you went to do, & at the end of the day, go home and relax.)

If no one talks about you, then you're dead. You do good or bad people would still talk, so don't bother.

hmm, I try to listen but not to participate, some gossip is to be shared (good stuff like winning a prize) other stuff shouldn't but I hate missing out on info.
