What would you do if you were the Subject of Office Grapevine

tell me about it..i have always had that kinda effect..i think we have to make affirmations and change the way we feel about ourselves..there are usually some innate insecurities that others can see and they feed off of that to make themselves look larger..i often tend to ignore them so they are not important in my life..they mean less and less..if it affects my career then i would stand up for defending myself..but in a calm way..or make a complaint in writing to head office..reporting time and place of incidents..

I would address the issue. I think once rumors start, you need to take care of it before matters become worse. I figure if they want something to talk about, I might as well give them something REAL. Trust me, most people don't like confortation and once they realize your not going to tolerate it, they will find someone else.

Been there, done that. Start wearing short skirts & high heels. If they're going to talk anyway, might as well turn em green while they're running their choppers, eh?

i would just ask them what there problem is and why are they running me down. I hate people like that. espically people that act nice to your face and then talk about you when you are gone.

I would ask them directly to stop. If that fails, then I would talk to a supervisor.

I would not even acknowledge that it is happening as that way they are getting exactly what they want, they want to upset to you and try and break you so just ignore them, people like that are just not worth your time, and if it becomes unbearable then go to your superior and let them deal with it
