Discourage gossip. Wit and humour at the other person’s expense are rarely worth it and may hurt when least expected. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves. Refuse to talk of another’s vices. It is a waste of valuable time and can be extremely destructive. Be careful of another’s feelings.

Know your own weaknesses : Don’t get caught up in gossip. Be sensitive of others : Jokes at someone else’s expense are not worth the trouble. Learn to disagree without being disagreeable. Don’t point out the speck in the other person’s eye while ignoring the plank your own. Think about other people’s feelings before you poke fun.

Don't gossip or share confidential things, but you get my point. I recall reading an article where a company had a policy that an employee MUST take a 2 weeks of vacation a year and those 2 weeks MUST be back to back. Be careful if your work has a no perfume policy in case folks have allergies. Nuff said.
