Is Gossip Killing Your Company? - Dave Ramsey

Dave Ramsey explains why he has zero tolerance for gossip—and why you should too!

[ilovemybeard]

Gossip is so destructive that an innocent person gets involved and their reputation is ruined and it could be in the workplace, family, College, School, etc

[Kate-Does]

I despise gossip too. However, if multiple people are having issues with the same manager, you should listen to them not dismiss them.

Smack the world with the truth!!

Gossip kills businesses, churches, relationships and it’s completely unbiblical.

It is such a destroyer.

Thanks for being so bold Dave! I love how you just tell it how it is.

[Cheezyquackers]

Gossip killed my church. The doors closed permanently. It started with one woman. It's a cancer.

Gossip - Talking about problem with a person who can't fix it.

Talk to people who can fix it

Send negative up and positive down

If you're unhappy then leave. Don't complain, become aware and fix it.

Don't allow gossipers.

[TJWillis]

Hand your negatives up and your positives down! Works both ways, too. I had a boss who would gossip about her employees with her favorite manager, including me. And it was about the dumbest stuff, like the fact that I don’t eat the way she thought I should! I worked as an order processor at a grass seed company - my lunches are irrelevant! And her manager would root out crap to bring to the boss to talk about, like it’s a game. Yet she was shocked when I put in my notice. I couldn’t work somewhere with a manager that smiled to my face and laughed at my back with my boss.

I agree with Dave here this a huge problem in company’s and needs to be dealt with people need to work collect a paycheck and go home happy

[acfollowjcor]

I respect a zero gossip policy specially at work because gossip is UGLY.

[jimmydarkz]

Quit a job on the 2nd week over gossip. It wasn't serious but no way in hell I want to be in that environment.

[williamstanton]

Thank you Dave!!! you just made a friend.

Gossip is not he right approach. However, if that many people in your organization have a problem with that middle manager, then, believe me, he IS a problem. People don't consistently complain about good managers.

[arleneaugustahair]

Yes but I ignore it. I’m on a financial mission. I don’t have time for other people’s issues.
“You’re going to fire me!”
“Oh definitely yeah, yeah!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Theres a difference between gossip and sharing information.... and it can be interpreted differently by people.... so make sure that you aren't squashing sharing of information....

[WeKnowTheTruth]

Gossip all day! Just fire em bubba
I hate people who gossip

[checkerzzzgaminghi]

How can anyone Gossip about a person and you don't even talk to them

[chantecarstens]

What do you do when it's the boss, or leader that gossips about employees to other employees or brings down one employee in front of another, behind their back.

What happens when you work under a leader/manager or boss that's exposes everyone and hurts people all in the process of building a business, how could you trust that manager/boss that you are suppose to take instruction from and trust in a working environment.

Many employees have been hurt like this. Good employees.

[mariahconklin]

I do not think I'll be going back to my job. The management will not fire a lady who gossips. Just like this lady. She has little minions to that gossip with her. Sad and pathetic. I do not understand gossip

[anncarper]

If only all management leaders had the backbone to enforce this policy. The American workplace would be 💯 percent better. Unfortunately, too many in management are weasels who tiptoe around the gossip/troublemaker and let them create chaos.

[legendarycreatormindset]

Interesting topic! FOCUS is key to everything! What do you guys think?

I wish Dave Ramsey spoke Spanish, Loteria Tradicional of Puerto Rico need this speech
