How do you handle a co-worker that you know spreads Runors about you !!!!!?

Answer 1

There are two ways--indirectly or directly.

When you hear the rumor spread about you, laugh at the rumor with the person telling you. Make it seem like the most ridulous thing that could be said. It will hurt the rumormonger in people's eye and make theiur gossip valueless.

Using the direct approach, is to go to them personally and privately. Point out that you don't appreciate the lies and gossip they have been spreading and would like them to stop. You will be met with defensiveness--What do you men? I never . . . Stuff like that.

Personally, I enjoy the indirect way.

Answer 2

How you handle it would depend on whether there's any truth in it. If it is unfounded. You should ask the person who told you, why do you think someone would makeup such a thing.

There are various reasons that males and females would do such a thing. Too many to mention.

If it is true, the Bible gives an answer. "Avoid the very appearance of sin. If people thought this rumor is so unlike you, you would not even have to defend yourself.

Then when you're told, tell the person that told you, " I will pray for the author of this lie, please tell them so"

Good luck

Answer 3

It is best to confront the person about the rumors, and give names of the people that this person told. Be kind about it, because that will show this person that you have more class than they do. You can tell them that you expect this to stop and if it does not you will be taking it to the management. Remind the person that this kind of behavior is deformation of character, and it is against the law. This will probably discourage this person from the pathetic behavior that they have found to be so amusing at the expense of others. Good luck, I hope that this person is not so stupid that they continue this distasteful behavior, and force you into turning them over to the management.

Answer 4

You need to go up to this person in private and ask her/him kindly not to spread rumors about you.

If he/she doesn't stop, then that's when you need to go to your supervisor. If your supervisor doesn't do anything about it, then take it to Human Resources.

Note: If you know that these rumors are not true, then you should just ignore them. But, if this person starts harassing you, then you have the right to file a complaint for 'harassment'. Hope this helps you!

Answer 5

Regaurdless what the experts say. i myself would simply approach them and say," Excuse me, it saddens me that you have no business of your own and live such a shallow life that you have to dip into my business to feel alive, find some business other than mine!"
I know it is not the right way to do it, but hey there is always going to be the jealous, the sad, and just jerks that enjoy causing havic in other peoples lives, to avoid looking at themselves.
Good luck

Answer 6

Disprove the rumors that the co-worker is spreading. If the co-worker is embarrassed often enough, he or she will quit spreading the rumors.

Answer 7

It happens to alot of people. It has happened to me. It was hard to comfront this person, but I was nice and didn't get angry. I prayed for that person and tried to be nice everytime we would see each other. If you collegues know you, they will know what the truth is, believe me prayer does work.
