In a business environment: Is there any benefit in telling someone when another person speaks ill of them?

Asked by christine215 (3173points) November 2nd, 2009

Say a coworker is trashing your mutual “boss”. Saying negative things about work ethic, questioning competency, etc…

What about if the same were being said about an equal?
Someone at a lower level on the ladder than you?

Would you in any of these instances say anything? Do you think any good could come of it?

What about if you totally disagree and think that the negativity may be ‘heard’ enough to hurt the person who is the target of the negative statements?
