Gossiping coworkers get caught trash-talking their boss, quietly get reassigned to a stricter manager days later: 'Your boss handled that like a pro'

Finding a good coworker bestie is like hitting the jackpot at work. They're the ones you can vent to about your day—the deadlines, the annoying emails, the boss's weird habits—and you both know you're probably making everything ten times more dramatic than it really is. But that's the point. Sometimes, you just need someone who gets it, someone who listens without judgment and throws in a sarcastic comment or two to keep you sane. That work BFF is your lifeline when things get tough, turning even the worst day into something bearable.

But here's the golden rule, you must save the trash talk and gossip for outside the office walls. Because as comforting as it feels to let loose, workplace gossip can backfire in the worst way. People hear more than you think, and sometimes, it lands in the ears of exactly the person you're complaining about. And when that happens?
