Yeah, work gossip is real. Another tip that goes along with this. Don't remember word for word but something like,
If someone at work is talking shit about others behind their back , assume they are talking shit about you too.
I learned about OPs tip about half a year ago, though it helped me in a positive way.
I was about to quit because I wanted(deserved) a raise because I wasn't making what I should've been.
I told two people exactly.. and then within that week, almost every other coworker confronted me about it, saying I hear you're quitting, and why and everything.
Then within about two weeks my boss comes to me saying the same, I hear you're quitting and then ask me why I was.
Talking went on and basically I got a pretty good raise out of it and decided to stay. I had previously inquired about making more money to him with no luck.
The fact that it took me almost quitting to get my raise is nonsense. Companies really don't wanna pay you shit, and give you the least they can.
