no matter where you work, there is always gossip and back-stabbing. a thing that bothers me a lot is when "A" is not around, B, C, & D really talk awful about her. When A is there, but C is not there, then A, B, and D all rip C apart, and so on. They act like they are best friends with whoever is there and assisinate the one or two who are not there. I always stay out of it, never participate in it, but it is hard not to hear it. What is the best way to handle office gossip and "rip aparts"? Is ignoring them and going about my business the best policy? I feel sure they also talk about me when I am not in earshot, but I don't dwell on it that much. If I knew what they were saying was fact-based and the truth, it would not bother me as much as knowing they are exaggerating and even making up stuff or assuming things.
