I guess we'll have to just agree to disagree

It just surprises me that so many people are saying to stay out of it, especially when she said this is her friend. Seems like everyone is more worried about potentially rocking the boat at work and the impact it would have on themselves than the priority of being a good friend and preventing someone at work from spreading malicious rumors about others. Every man for him/herself I guess. But that does explain why people, in general, seem to be so self-centered in the workplace and why there is no sense of teamwork and camaraderie anymore. It's hard to think of the thoughts, feelings, and impact on others when all you're worried about is yourself.
