A Gossiping Is Bullying Limerick
Spreading rumors is one of the most insidious and malicious forms of bullying
“Spreading rumors is one of the most insidious and malicious forms of bullying because the person being gossiped about is not in a position to rebut the claims to share his/her side of the matter; it always creates the potential for negative judgments and labels to be applied to the individual being gossiped about; and nothing has greater potential to create divisiveness and silo effect than a culture that tolerates (and by tolerating, encourages) rumor-mongering. Most important, damage done to someone's reputation by malicious gossip can never be undone.” – Joe Tye, LinkedIn
When you have troubles and something to lose,
The haters love spreading the news.
They don’t care if it’s true.
They hope their lies will hurt you…
Gossiping is how they bully and abuse.

Understaffed and over worked, they did whatever it took. We saw real HEROISM and true HEROS. My original post is below.
