So, what is gossip…. Well, this is a stereotypical view of gossip. There are a few people whispering to each other. \n\nAnd then there’s the woman with the clipboard looking concerned, possibly writing down what she hears… Oh, so and so has to hear about this..\n
see the two in the corner over there, what, or rather, who, are they talking about\n
and it's probably, not always, because when we are talking about other people, we spend a lot of that time talking about their comings and goings. did you hear jim just got back from vacation? did you see the smiths are going to their son's graduation in hawaii?\n

Why trust? Well, talking about other people is risky. Even when you day good things. \n\nand researchers today think that gossip fills a similar role in human societies.\n\n\n

Transient workforces -- high turnover -- will be less subject to the effect of reputation. when people don’t think they are going to have to deal with others, they aren’t going to care what the others think\nIf people have mutual goals and if their own income depends on the behavior of others, reputation becomes very important. \n\nand, when people's personal and work lives are more intertwined, they are more inclined to be concerned about their reputation among their co-workers\n
