life in journalism: of prattlers and moles!

This happens not just in journalism but across the corporate world.

What do you do about prattling colleagues and colleagues who cunningly serve as moles of the top bosses? I say do nothing much except speak to them strictly on direct work-related matters only.


The prattlers will eventually choke on their own tattle and the moles, like this another definition of a 'mole' as per freedictionary.com: "a burrowing mammal with velvety dark fur and forelimbs specialized for digging", will eventually experience the earth giving away beneath their feet and they getting buried inside, for the good of the rest of humanity! No offence to the mammals called 'mole'! The pic to the right is of a 'mole' mammal, courtesy nature.com/mammals/talpa_europaea.htm.
