If you just kept to yourself and didn't care, how would it have made you look bad? Ever? And she would still have a job. I mean, you didn't turn her in because you didn't think she'd get fired, and now she's getting fired and you care about her family situation? Sounds like you need to go personally request that she not get fired, and remember in the future that when you mess with someone's job, you mess with their entire family.

I didn't read all this, but if she came to you to tell you what was said, I don't think that's exactly spreading gossip. I mean, I rather have someone tell me then say it to three other people.

Under her situations, I'd feel terrible to take that job. But I'm that kind of person to where if I did that to her(even if in technicality, she's the one who messed up), I'd just wait for it to happen to me, but worse.

I hope she doesn't get fired and if she does, I hope you have peace with whatever decision you make.

What the smurf are you talking about? My supervisor asked how this got started. I said because ______ told me. There was no way in hell I was lying -- my supervisor can't stand a liar and I was not risking MY job. I didn't throw her under the bus, I saved her ass the entire time he was saying she was fired. Clearly, it worked. Because he didn't fire her.

I dont get it. So one assistant was talking badly to another assistant about you. The one that didnt start the gossiping told you. And the one that told you is getting fired? Maybe Im backwards but I would think the other assistant was the one starting the drama? I mean, by telling you maybe she was just trying to be honest/upfront so that you knew what was going on? If I were the boss I wouldnt fire that assistant. Id probably be a bad boss.

If DH had cancer and I relied on my job to make sure everything was paid, etc... you bet your ass I'd be on my damn behavior and wouldnt fall victim to childish gossip.

Honestly, you work hard there, and EVERYONE has a story and a background, including you. No one is more deserving that the next person. Go for it... and congrats!

I'm glad it turned out the way you wanted it to.

Me too. She does start drama a lot... but she is also an amazing person/employee

Hopefully she's learned her lesson.
