Backbiting, For Real

I had notice a common trait in the working environment during my internship. Backbiting. It was common to hear someone talking about someone else without the person knowing it. Collegues backbite collegues, collegues backbite manager. Yet, they are able to act in front of each other like good friends without knowing someone has been talking bad about you. There is a tendency to listen and also to comment. Such involvement in backbitting would only caused strain and effect working relation with that person. This is one area that we should be aware of because it happens. However, we as Christian should have a different perspective on it and should always compliment their strength rather than bring up their weaknesses. This is something I observed during my short working experience.
