Do you feel awkward if you're working with somebody who likes to gossip about everybody?

No, it does not make me wonder if they will gossip about me. I know they will gossip about me. I can’t stand gossips, and would keep as much distance between myself and a gossip. I may be able to restrain myself from saying something to them, but then again maybe I couldn’t. I have called gossips out in the past, but today is a different animal, so I’d have to be more careful with my words in case they call the “Thought Police.”
