Do you have one of those on your staff? The employee who always seems to have the scoop on layoffs or co-workers going on plan? A few days later, this person’s destructive gossip becomes reality. How does this happen at a company so focused on so many crucial social issues they forget the basics of good business practices with ALL their staff? Get with it. SD, ask HR who has loose lips on your staff or take on Regional leaders who gossip before info should be shared.

Actually I’m down with HR giving us a heads up.
