So, I work in childcare. Yesterday, two of my bosses pulled my coteacher and I into the office because they overheard us “gossiping” the day before during nap time. We weren’t gossiping. We were venting about a situation that had happened with one of the bosses that had frustrated us. Both of us were involved in the situation, so it wasn’t like we were telling an unrelated third party. We didn’t say anything personal about the boss, everything was kept to the work incident. They reprimanded us for “not contributing to a healthy workplace environment”. So if I can’t vent to my coteacher who was there for the situation, who can I vent to? I really don’t understand the thoughts that went through their heads
