suspicions, and rumors the grapevine provides

in organizational life

must seek to keep employees informed
Rumors
• There are four categories of rumors
– A pipe dream or wish fulfillment expresses the wishes
and hopes of those who spread the rumors

anxieties and cause general uneasiness

and are the most damaging type of rumor

after waiting for an announcement
