BC&G - Definition of the week, brought to you by Dictionary of Corporate BS

Gossip

Information of a scandalous nature, with questionable sources and veracity, that everyone takes as the 100 percent truth; a major currency of the workplace and a great way to pass the time. Common topics include office romances and affairs, skeletons in execs’ closets, behavior that required the legal department’s involvement, and material that smacks of urban myth.
