From the course: Mistakes You Should Avoid at Work
Getting pulled into office drama
- I like a good reality show as much as the next person. However, be careful to avoid making your life feel like one by getting pulled into office drama. Unless something impacts you directly, you should try to avoid getting involved. It's fine if a friend or a colleague wants to vent to you, but make sure the conversation stays between the two of you, and always have those conversations in a private setting rather than in the office. Be especially careful with written communication, and don't write anything that you wouldn't be comfortable being broadcast to the entire office. And finally, be a vault. Never repeat anything that you have heard that you know probably shouldn't be repeated. The easiest and best way to avoid office drama is to just keep your mouth shut.
