Gossip, the thread of whispered conversation and conjecture that once flowed through the workplace, has dwindled in our new network of home offices and half-empty headquarters

mean even when we’re in the office, many others aren’t. Stuck on calls with the same five teammates, sometimes it feels like there’s simply no new information to be had.

'Flowed through the workplace'?!?WHO is out here missing back channel reviews, unfounded rumors, clicques, insecure colleagues, offensive jokes, intrusive comments about your appearance and awkward social interaction?
