HR2002 April 2005
Idle chatter, small talk and gossip are the only means by which human relations within a working organisation can be improved upon in the rapidly changing and globalising world, where retrenchment rates are on the rise and companies are focusing more on temporary staff for manpower requirements.
Discuss the above with respect to any of the THREE main topics.
I'm actually setting my own exam question.....
It's bad to talk about who's gotten a job at which company, and the starting pay whoever's receiving. Or to tell someone else that you've heard these news from somebody. Who knows someone may get so upset with you that he wouldn't even want to see your face for the rest of the day.
Maybe I'm not showing enough empathy here. We have our individual differences in terms of values and the strength of the situation isn't strong enough for me to render any empathy. But have I not been the subject of gossips before? Have I been spared the misery of having observer/target similarity to this unpleasant situation? Some were ridiculous and does not even contain a single bit of truth at that.
Can you imagine hearing gossips that've been spreading around, and when it finally reaches your ears, you're the last to hear it? And these gossips actually originated from those closest to you. It starts to change the perception you have of your close friends, which leads to a change in attitude towards them as well. And if you take a look at the model of attitudes and behaviour, behaviour is next on the list of changes. But does it have to be something as drastic as not wanting to see someone's face for the rest of the day?
Ok, so he could have felt betrayed. The unconditional trust he had placed upon me can no longer be sustained. He's facing difficulties suspending the belief that I would not be broadcasting whatever he told me to anyone else. The only thing that I've ever said was that a particular someone had gotten a job in a particular company, and that he was the source of my news. He didn't know the person in the subject matter well, so mentioning his name was a bad move.
In conclusion, do not gossip about anyone at all.
