And yet another facet of Grace shows: Her intolerance toward workplace gossip. Good for her! Little good comes from any gossip, but workplace gossip can sour employees faster than even an in-your-face hard-nose like Grace.
Gossip is rarely accurate, usually malicious, and never to be trusted. It’s a tool for lousy employees to try to pull better employees down to their level the majority of the time, and even when it’s occasionally true the details are so warped as to make it nonsense. A pound of salt should be taken with every scrap, because a grain won’t do. Employers should find trustworthy employees to ask things and pay only passing attention to the gossipmongers.

What is life if you can’t talk about someone behind their back?
yay for grace. workplace backbiters are a plague on humanity. they can destroy a small business faster than almost anything.
Pete… Grace is a complicated individual, isn’t she? She definitely would not put up with ANY *$#% from her employees on the night shift.
FunMike… indeed.
Trev… well-said in pulling down others to their level. We shall see if there is any truth to the matter… but in the meantime. ICY stares commence-th.
RN… I’m sure that Grace has had more than her share.
anatman… a plague is a good description. I’ve worked in enough retail to understand the beast somewhat.
