Should I tell my co - worker?

Question

My manager is a terrible manager. One of the many things she does is when someone tells her something in confidence or to vent, she tells other people, or the person who it is in reference to. She often lets it 'slip out'. If it is a complaint about someone work habits, she DOESN'T address it. She just tells other people or let's it slip out.

A few weeks ago, one of my co workers told her something about me and my manager 'let it slip'. This infuriated me. When I talked in confidence to another co worker, she told me that my manager does that and that the other co worker HAS to know she does this, so she told her that thing about me so that it would get out.

Should I tell my co worker who told the thing about me to my manager, that my manager told me?

Answer 1

No, because it will only cause more problems and it won't solve anything. Take it as a lesson learned, and don't tell the manager anything else personal. Don't tell others that she talks too much; let them find out for themselves.

Answer 2

DON'T DO ANYTHING!!!!

Seriously, you will only cause unnecessary drama and probably make yourself look bad.  Take what your manager said into consideration and just do your job the best you can.

Answer 3

well at least your aware of he problem and do tell others how she is and new coworkers that start there

Answer 4

And what will you accomplish?  Office politics only accomplishes more gossip and hard feelings.  I found that the best thing is, is not to get involved with co-workers.  It only can add more stress to your job.  Do your job, get your paycheck and stay out of all the nitty gritty gossip.
