3. Make It Clear — You Are Not Open To Gossip
If you ever happen to bump into one, and s/he start some gossip, communicate strictly on a need-to-know basis that you don’t want to talk about others at all. If there’s something else s/he wants to talk about then continue or else leave it there itself.
