Whether you are speaking about, or being spoken about, it is better to not participate. As a friend of mine says, "It’s none of my business what you think of me." Avoiding office gossip can be hard, but it is vital if you are to stand out as a professional. Tomorrow, try applying the motto "I work here." In other words, I don’t come here for intimate friendship, emotional support, legal advice, or dating possibilities. The less ingrained you are in the office social circle, the easier it will be to break away when another opportunity comes along. If you already stand out from the crowd, you may automatically be considered more "promotable." Awareness is the first step. Small adjustments make a big difference.
