"gossiping team mates"

hey could you expand on this one? Harmless office gossip is a good way of social interaction, no?

If your teammates are talking poorly about other teammates, that’s harmful gossip.

If they are talking about celebrity relationships, that’s a totally different thing.

In this context, I mean if your teammates are gossiping about each other, leadership, or even customers - that could be a red flag.

Oh I see, the underground politics going on & people saying things about others that they can't say to their face is definitely a red flag!
