eh Should I say, "gossiping is feedback" then? Both who you gossip to and what pieces of gossip you are with that person do provide feedback on that relationship Gossip that gets back to the person it's about is feedback about how that person is being perceived around the office. shrug - literally, gossip isn't feedback and shouldn't be taken expressly as that - however, it still provides feedback. Feedback can be positive or negative; it can be "keep doing this" as much as "stop doing this."Gossip is cultural currency. We use it to express allegiance and affinity.
