We do have to keep our company privacy in mind when sharing and never give specific details, but it is easy to give a general work situation and no one is the wiser as to who it is about and no company secrets are shared. The problem that sometimes occurs with sharing with current co-workers is it can turn into office gossip.

I wouldnt recommend talking about a co-worker with someone at the office or it ends up being gossip and spreads a bad feeling about that person. The good thing about apologizing is even though a bad mood was passed along, saying you are sorry goes a long way to making things right. (I Business Writing Guidelines for 2008 C or cc or copy?
