I can't believe co-worker took my venting complaints to boss!

Hello.

Trust nobody.

Trust nobody.

I agree ...

Also, keep any work-related comments to yourself, your spouse, and friends who don't work at your facility. Nothing on Facebook, Twitter, or blogs, especially.

To avoid problems like this in the future, remember that NO ONE is your friend at work. Everyone has their own agenda. It doesn't matter how friendly some one is or how trustworthy they seem. No one cares about you, only themselves. I get mad at work, there are some people who I don't like. I never talk about it at work. I wait till I get home and complain to my hubby. The best thing is to come to work, do your job, have light talk with co-workers and go home. That's what gets me thru the day at work.

Everything in your head does not need to come out of your mouth.

A strong no gossip, no griping personal policy is a pretty handy rule to hold yourself to and generally speaking saves one a LOT of problems at work and socially. Ask yourself "Is it true? Is it kind?" before speaking. If the answer is no, it doesn't need to be said. Add to that "Is it smart to say this aloud at all?" and you pretty much cover your bases.

lol wow that must have been awkward , dont trust women or gay men, not all the time but most of the time

I have to admit, I am pretty incredulous that you would be surprised this would come back to bite you. Gossip leading to a bad outcome? Since when does THAT happen?
