Workplace Gossip

Famous quotes containing the words workplace and/or gossip:

“Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)

“Men have always detested women’s gossip because they suspect the truth: their measurements are being taken and compared.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
