Lets do this.
You whisper something to the person next to you. Then he or she whispers what he or she thinks you said to the next person, and so on. Then the last person in the chain says it loudly. You then repeats the original sentence which of course is quite different with the last person.

This is an example of damaging gossip that spreads false information. Its happen everywhere, not only in the office, but it seem to have one in every office.

There is an Arabic proverb: Gossip of two women will destroy two houses..

Why do people gossip? People are always interested and curious about how other people’s live. If the gossip is somewhat “colorful” the more interesting it is. And of course its fun… life would be so boring without it.

Guard our tongues before speaking to anyone about anyone else. Remember, when we participate in gossip, we run the risk of damaging our credibility.
