You discussed your business at your place of business, and you are surprised your personal business is now everyone's business?

Lesson learned: keep your personal business to yourself. When you quit, the first time everyone at your job should hear it is when you give notice.

That's gossip, man. I know, it sucks. The thing you need to realize, and I'm sure you now do, is that most people lead rather uninteresting lives and they tend to carry their conversations based on others. Eff them.

My climbing partner once told me:
Stupid people talk about other people.
The average person talks about current events.
Intelligent people talk about ideas.

That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with your topic, but it popped in my head and I've always thought it was a great anecdote.

BTW, didja ever get the replacement sticker?

Still sucks, but if you tell someone at work, it gets around.

I like to discuss my relationships with family and friends. Would my relationships improve if I discussed philosophy and metaphysics instead?

Sorry, macko, I always thought that quote was unbelievably overrated

Chalk it up to a life lesson. If you talk at work, everyone is going to know. Got something at work you want nobody to know? Don't tell anyone. It's the way offices work, and it's stupid and unfortunate, but unavoidable.

 

[jonKranked]

yup. my place of work is the same way. its like f***ing high school with the amount of gossip that goes on.

 

[douglas]

yeah dude, if I was plannig to quit I would definitely not mention anything to anyone at work, until after I put my notice in.

You're young. Consider it a lesson learned. You can't tell anyone anything at work because people don't know how to keep their traps shut. I would never tell anyone I was quitting until I gave my official notice to my boss.

 

[binary visions]

I had several months leading up to when I gave my notice, and the only people I had talked about it with were people who were also close personal friends outside of work... and even then, only those who I knew hated the gossip chain as much as I did.

 

[stevew]

Next time keep your fvcking mouth shut.

That way you won't have the sandy vagina syndrome on a internet board when your masterplan is revealed to the masses at work.

 

[DHS]

hm, i spread the rumor at work that i don't like how i'm being treated and i'm getting a new job.

i get a raise 1 week later. and my own area to work in that others arn't allowed to come into. they can just call me through the phone.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Sorry, macko, I always thought that quote was unblievably overrated

Sort of like your spelling.............

Sort of like your spelling.............

Pssh, at least that was a typo and not me thinking it was actually spelled correctly

 

[sanjuro]

I hated my co-workers in Ct, so I didn't tell them anything naturally that I was moving to Cali.

After I gave notice to my boss, we announced it the next day at the morning meeting.

Before I could get any glee, someone comments how there is supposed to be a major earthquake in Cali that year. My glee was disappeared immediately.

 

[JRB]

What exactly did you think would happen???

You should've said "Hey Retardo Montalban - nobody can predict earthquakes. "

steve, they were probably quarantining you so you don't infect your co-workers.

 

[BadDNA]

I hated my last job, my boss knew I was looking but was as powerless as I was to do anything towards getting me to stay, we'd both tried for months to remedy the situation with out dept. head. When I got my current job I told my boss, he didn't tell anyone, then with two weeks to go before I started at this job I gave the dept. head one week notice and took a week long vacation. The dept. head was all :mumble: :redhot: :mumble: , I just cause he had more than one opportunity to keep me around.

3 people can keep a secret...as long as 2 of them are dead.

You're missing the point. By talking about "other people" I think we're insinuating gossip. As in, if you're talking to your co-workers the easiest conversation you can have is about someone else. The next easiest is talk about what's going on in the news or at the office. The most difficult and perhapse the most interesting conversation you can have is about your ideas.

I'm not saying it applies to everyone at everytime; but I think it's applicable to cdale junky's problem of co-workers talking about him behind his back. But hell, maybe your relationships would improve if you discussed philosophy and metaphysics instead. I dunno how boring you are in person...

 

[uneasy_rider]

I can't stand when people arbitrarily don't mind their own business and like to tell everybody else how they should do things. THAT I can't stand. In this case, I think this says it all and is one of the best quotes I've ever seen

You discussed your business at your place of business, and you are surprised your personal business is now everyone's business?
