I worked with one of those who finally left. But in his exit interview he named me and several others as totally dissatisfied and interviewing for other jobs. Each of us was called in to discuss the problem. This idiot even gave my name to companies who were looking to fill positions. For a year I had to explain to my company and others that I was completely happy where I was. Very strange business. I stayed happily with that company for thirteen years until it was sold off and dismantled.

My mistake was listening to him. Change the subject. Be prepared to talk about TV programs, new babies, anything other than the bitching session.
