你是职场上永远无法成功的七类人吗

There’s harmless gossip and then there’s malicious gossip. Harmless gossip is…harmless. But you must avoid the malicious gossiper completely. In fact, put large amounts of space between you and this person.
有无恶意的闲话，就有恶意的闲话。无恶意的闲话就是……无害的。但你必须完全避开那些恶意的闲话者。事实上，对这种人应退避三舍。

Assume that since they’re willing to share really bad information with you, they’re sharing it with other people. They’re kind of like the flu.
如果他们愿意与你分享特别坏的消息，那一般情况下他们也会与将其与他人分享。他们就像流感一样。

If you run across a malicious gossiper and they start talking, whatever you do, don’t agree with them. Because the next thing you know, your sentence of “Oh, I agree with you – I bet she totally slept with that guy to get that job” will be shortened to “So and so just told me that so and so slept with so and so!” And voila, you’re screwed.
如果你遇见个恶意的闲话者，他们开始交谈，不管做什么，你都别赞成。因为不久你就会发现，你的那句“噢，我赞成你——我打赌她肯定跟那谁上床了才得到这份工作”会被精简为“那谁刚告诉我，谁跟谁睡觉了！”恭喜，你倒霉了。
