Re Four Women Fired for Gossipping

That was on our local news last night. We're about 1/2 hour - 45 minutes from there. Consensus here is the firing by the one being gossiped about did more to confirm the rumors about his affair than just about any other action would have.

Re Four Women Fired for Gossipping

I can see the point of the person being gossiped about defending his reputation, but really-what someone says off the clock, I don't know that they should(or can) be fired for it.

Personally, I think it's a fantastic idea.

Re Four Women Fired for Gossipping

There are more topics to talk about than to gossip (give statements about other people who are still alive). Anyway people by nature just like to gossip. I have to watch what I may blurt out too.
