Surely you or someone from your friends at least once in your life came across conversations about yourself, but without your participation. As a rule, gossip are born and distributed in the working team, but only in rare cases they carry damage to the work process. If there is a sense of tension, which develops into the inability to fully fulfill its duties, measures must be taken. We decided to figure out where the gossip is taken from and what to do to stop unnecessary conversations.
Where do gossip come from?
It is believed that gossip "live" exclusively in women's companies may be surprised by the fact that the male team practically does not lag in the discussion of his colleagues. Someone hears the conversation, retells the heard of another colleague, of course, the story becomes new facts, not necessarily real, and so on the chain. Agree when these stories relate to you and especially do not correspond to reality, it becomes very offensive.

How to stop excessive conversations?
Rugan and insults not only will not solve the problem, but also add you a negative in Karma - you will be prescribed additional unilent epithets. If you know that your colleague is waiting for the details that can be discussed with the rest of the colleagues, let's as much information about yourself and in general, try not to go into any details.
Frankly talk to the instigator
And again - no insults. Take a conversation in a calm tone, even if you really want to express all the accumulated. Ask why a person distributes information that does not correspond to reality. Someone immediately admits, what is the cause of hostility, others continue to stand on their own if you caught the second option, also calmly tell me that you will definitely check the information for reality.
Find like-minded people
If someone in the team is configured against you, this does not mean that everything is supported. Arrange relationships with the rest of the colleagues, most likely, in the team there will be at least a few people who are close to you in spirit, so why not unite against the gossip and together to reflect attacks?

Return to work
Despite the slots, you need to continue to fulfill your duties. Many gossips just seek what you will defocherate and you will not be able to work with the former diligence. Do not deliver such joy to unfriendly.
Put the bosses
If the gossip is not going to be less aimed, and you notice that unnecessary conversations affect your efficiency, do not pull and inform the management. Be sure, a frank conversation with the director will give the result - the gossip will have to be explained.
