Looking for opinions really

[bzoo]

If you had overheard your colleagues and/or boss talking about you with a mutual friend visiting your workplace (not theirs)

Would you mention you had heard them?

It depends on what they were saying. If it was glowing I think is leave it and be quietly pleased. If not then I think I would approach my boss and tell him/her I had overheard.

I wouldn't say anything. I'd take the view that knowledge is power and just use this to make myself more aware of where I stood.

It's been said, you can't change it.

Depends what they were saying, tbh.

I wouldn't mention it. I don't kid myself that people only ever talk about me with my full consent and knowledge, so even if they were being unkind I'd just let it go.

Im.presuming was negative otherwise you wouldnt be worrying?id say i heard discussion can go from there

I have and I did. They were gossiping about an affair I was supposedly having (I wasn't). I called my boss out on it and told him in no uncertain terms that it wasn't acceptable and I would be heading straight for his boss if I heard he made comment on the subject again. The mutual friend was told similar.

I guess it depends on your situation, though. What's been said? Are you confident/bothered enough to speak to them about it? Is it worthwhile keeping it under your hat and just knowing where you stand?

Details?
