I have done this in the past and so you would think I would learn from my mistakes, but oh no - I've just done it again! But with work colleagues this time. Have completely alienated myself through gossiping about the boss. I hadn't even intended talking to this particualr person (the one I was gossiping with) as I felt so shitty that day, but got dragged into a conversation and all my bad feelings came out. The boss has found out and now all the other staff know what I have done. I KNOW it is my own fault, but I also know that if I was in a proper state of mind and not so anxious/depressed/knackered, that it would never have happened in the first place. I have explained to the boss my reasons and she has been really supportive, but really feel I have let all the other staff down. So much so that I have resigned. Feel much more shitty than usual now.
