30. Office Gossip and Rumor Mills: How to Stay Out of It Without Becoming Invisible

Someone pulls you aside after a meeting. They lean in. They've got something to tell you about a colleague, a decision that's coming, a rumor making the rounds. And you feel it, that pull. The slight quickening. The part of you that wants to know.
