Research claims that 96% of workplace talk is gossip. We inherited the ‘village well’ gossip and supercharged it with WhatsApp. Sharma ji’s divorce? Mehta’s transfer? Gupta’s "extra meetings" with the intern?That’s our real HR manual. We pretend to work while our tongues wage war in silk ties. Whether we like it or not, the truth is that offices without gossip are like libraries without books—sterile tombs where souls go to die. From Gurugram glass towers to PSU corridors in Bhopal, from chai corners to Slack DMs, we all want to know who’s dating whom, who’s resigning next, and who cried in the washroom after appraisal. But must we weaponise Sharmaji’s divorce?
