I've had some wicked rumors about me at my job and at first I was livid. After letting it sink in, I concluded that my true friends know that the rumors are false, and the ones that are spreading the rumors are not entitled to altering my mood and demeanor...they simply don't matter.
We had that problem where I used to work and the boss was just as guilty as anyone else...
Other then NOT talking to them, I have no idea...I have usually had a pretty boring life...gossip about did Lisa go to the pool or the beach this weekend, did she really spend the day at Disney, shock surprise...
I think remaining pretty predictable kept them off my back AND part of the time I was the auditor, **** me off and who knows what your stats would end up being like...
The only gossip-ish problem I've ever had is our breakfast attendant at work. Her favorite past time is to wait until third shift leaves and then say nasty things about us (usually complaints about how we put it out and conspiracy theories that we care enough about her to screw with her by forgetting to put out the salt or under/overestimating the amount of food ppl will eat because we're mindreaders who know what ppl will be hungry for).
She used to be nice to our faces and then say stuff behind our backs, now if I'm still there when she comes in, she'll start in on me. I've learned to ignore her for the most part and just pray that she's in my life to show me what kind of a bitter old bag I don't want to become. Unfortunately, it took the girl who trained me over a year of going home and feeling bad that this woman didn't like her and wondering why nothing we do is good enough before she realized it was a problem with this woman and not her.
Everyone pretty much ignores her and just lets her blather on. It wasn't until recently that our boss finally said something when she started complaining to him about me (I put out too many eggs; I didn't change the orange juice--the light that says it's empty never came on btw--and I must have done it on purpose). She quit came back and has no been worse than ever, talking about EVERYONE and all the things they're doing wrong. As soon as she came in the other day she complained the other girl was here at 7:30 and our boss "told that girl not to come in til 8 and blah blah blah" like...who cares; are you the manager? and then turned and said "and you're sitting here, so everything better be done with breakfast" (mind you I was off half an hour prior, so if anything needed to be restocked, it was half an hour past my problem).
Le sigh. I heard she walked off the other day and "didn't think she'd be back" when I called to find out how soon I could go back to days (because I'd left when she started in on me and forgotten to ask), and was told about a month, and shortly after that I'd be working morning's and taking the front desk manager position. So I actually kind of hope that she sticks around long enough for me to see the look on her face when she finds out that I'll be taking over as her manager after all the crap she's pulled on me.

And the short answer to that would be: no...they really don't. Or rather, they do, and that they get their kicks in life this way. And feeling sorry for them is exactly where you end up when you realize; this is all they really have to make them happy. I'm only dealing with one who's a royal pain; I don't know what I'd do with a workplace full except ignore them or mess with them. When I worked at a store, a friend of mine said gossip travels so fast in this place he was going to tell someone at one end that I was pregnant and see how long it took to get to my lane and if they were still saying it was me just to see what would happen.

It is best to ignore them- unless they are a genuine friend. Life is too short- I knew a horrible woman who loved to talk trash in the S Fl law office I worked at- a year later her husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer- wow did she try and change her act---by then it was too late-
My old supervisor was the worst one for the "Mouth of the South" award. I've since learned it all did an about face and bit her right in the tush. What goes around comes around.

I agree w Lisa... my former supervisor, as much as I liked her, told trash on most all of the employees that weren't in her presence, then I suppose if I wasn't there w her she was saying something about me!
