Yeah. I'm gonna try real hard to be more positive, about everything, because I think if I'm being honest (and this doesn't excuse my behavior) my participating in gossip is due to feeling and trying to release myself from stress. I think it's pretty easy to say that the more frustrated I'm feeling at any particular moment, the easier it is to let my guard down.
I excuse your behavior. Somebody should. Look - you grunts are a team. You can either fractionate or coagulate. Either way it's a "team building exercise" it's just a matter of who's on the team. I'm willing to bet that you find saying positive stuff about coworkers when others are being negative gives you the energy you need to get through your day.
