    <summary><![CDATA[Much of what's written about office gossip makes it sound as though no good can come from sharing juicy tidbits about those we work with. Earlier this week, an article in the Science section of the New York Times discussed a recent study that found that workplace gossip tends to be "overwhelmingly negative." So negative, in fact, that Times writer John Tierney suggested it rivaled the damaging teenage jabs seen on TV's "Gossip Girl."

    <summary><![CDATA[Corporate theft is nothing new. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), U.S. employers lose 7 percent of their annual revenue to employee theft -- from inflated expense reports and abuse of corporate credit cards to out-and-out embezzling. Occupational fraud has certainly made headlines a lot this past year, from the Bernie Madoff crew to the guy&nbsp;accused of&nbsp;pocketing four-plus years of paychecks (totaling almost half a million dollars) from a company he never worked for.
