Gossip in tech companies
Have you ever experienced any discomfort within the hierarchy, especially at the top? Perhaps the use of unofficial power by a co-worker of lower rank overriding your authority to destabilize your work plan and performance?
This of course depends on the varying levels of intimacy with your boss. There is one most talked about virus which is pervasive in its presence across any organisation. This virus is popularly known as kan kotha in Bangla (workplace whispering). Kan kotha is presented in a manner that makes it very juicy. Interestingly, most CXO level executives and board members cannot resist the temptation of gossip, and fall easy prey to such crooked whisperers as they receive it sandwiched in flattery. These whisperers hit the weak spots of the boss and deliver some twisted information to safeguard their vested interests. This drives the boss crazy in an instant flash. The whispering materials are delivered safely of course, in your absence.
