“…These contexts are not simply past and present but temporal and processual drawing on prospective and emerging futures (Dawson, 2019). Gossip thereby emerges, circulates, and re-emerges in changing temporal contexts with shifting opportunities, tensions and circumstances, and is simultaneously colored by such opportunities, tensions and circumstances (Fan, 2018). It may offer interpretative ambiguity where possibilities of positive and negative influences of gossip can co-exist and may be mutually implicated as a “positive” influence for some can be “negative” for others (Stewart and Strathern, 2004).…”

“…Kurland and Pelled, 2000; Michelson et al, 2010), they do not specifically focus on gossip as a form of secrecy. While Fan et al (2020) bring forward the concept of confidential gossip; they do not provide a specific definition for it. Yet their arguments shed light on an important distinction in drawing attention to the way the conceptualization of gossip largely centers on the dimension of “evaluation,” while confidential gossip also emphasizes the intentionality of concealment (Fan and Grey, 2020).…”

“…I would argue that I, in some instances, became a stranger to the milieu I investigated—someone who is in the group but not of the group, stuck in between nearness and distance (Simmel, 1950, p. 404). While one might intuitively dismiss gossip and secrecy in research, things like (confidential) gossip is extremely important in organizations (Brady et al, 2017; Fan et al, 2020; Michelson & Mouly, 2002).

“…Moreover, through Graeber’s method-related notes scattered across the chapters, this book also inspires the possibility of studying bullshit jobs through (confidential) gossip as a form of organizational hinterland where myths and stories reside and organize (e.g. Fan, Grey, & Kärreman, 2020). Different dimensions of bullshit jobs can further link to the phenomena of boredom at work and emotional labour, mentions of which are scattered through the book.…”
