This week’s dilemma:
“I low-key love office gossip.”
In this minisode, we respond to a message from Kemi, a few years into her career, who’s built real workplace friendships through casual gossip. It helped her feel like she belonged. But now? She's not so sure.
What started as innocent connection now feels a little icky. She’s questioning her motives, her boundaries and whether gossip is costing her credibility at work.
We talk about the difference between bonding and boundary-crossing, how to avoid being labelled ‘that’ person and what to do when the tea feels good but might come with consequences.
If you’ve ever gotten swept up in the mess (and liked it) this one’s for you.
