Dear Rookie,
Trust is tricky when you’re a trainee 🙂
You don’t know who’s got your back,
& who’s gonna throw you under the bus.
Here’s what I’ve learned the hard way… don’t say anything you wouldn’t want repeated. No side comments, no “off-the-record” takes, no random comments at the tea shop or office party, no piling on when someone’s bashing the boss, no trusting the smiling new colleague 😉
Because nothing is off the record. Ever. We are humans, we love gossip – just be careful you don’t become the gossip!
Inspired by a post I read from Mel Robbins who said “People who gossip WITH you, will gossip ABOUT you.”
