English term or phrase: water cooler conversations
Be careful with the water cooler conversations but keep your eyes and ears open. The magnetic attraction of gossip is potentially toxic to your career. Steer clear of most of these group gatherings and their negative banter. Nonetheless, it pays to keep your ears and eyes open looking for the nuggets of truth often present in workplace gossip
