In a closed team, gossip and speculation spreads very quickly. To brighten up the monotony of the daily routine, people discuss the personal lives of colleagues, and sometimes come up with some information to add interest. It will not be superfluous to know how to treat such manifestations.
Instructions
Step 1
Try not to participate in such conversations and do not retell the latest gossip to your acquaintances. In spreading this information, you are no better than the gossip himself. Think what it is like to be the person who is being told like this behind your back. It is better to show with all your appearance that you are not interested in such information. It's quite another matter if they gossip about you.
Step 2
Take that kind of attention to yourself for a compliment. You have interested so many people, they are interested in discussing and taking their free time thinking about you.
Step 3
Ignore the false stories made by gossipers. If you don't show interest in them and show your annoyance, people will quickly forget about it. Do not start scandals, litigation and do not react to conversations in any way. Then it will not be interesting to spread rumors about you, and you will cease to be the central figure of gossip.
Step 4
Use your sense of humor as a defense against gossip. Laugh with everyone, joke, give the whole situation a comic tone. The ability to laugh at oneself will be appreciated, and the situation will be straightened out.
Step 5
Confirm the information if it is true and does not denigrate your good name. Answer all questions “yes, it’s true”, but do not go into details. After receiving confirmation of the information, people will no longer discuss it. It will automatically become boring because it is no longer secret.
Step 6
Maintain friendly relations with all employees so that no one has the desire to spread unflattering information about you.
Step 7
Try not to give rise to gossip. Watch how you dress, what you say and to whom. Don't discuss your personal life or problems with gossipers. If you really want to completely suppress any rumors, pretend to be a gray and uninteresting person. There is no desire to discuss such people, which means there will be no gossip.
