    The sentence should read "Dealing with gossip in the office is as easy as avoiding gossip." The original sentence is incorrect, as it assumes that listening to gossip is okay so long as you don't spread it. In fact, gossip hurts even those who simply listen to it. Avoiding gossip is the only positive way to deal with it.

    This sentence is messy, as well as a run-on. Here's a revised version:

    "It becomes easy to gossip among the office, but remember; it is just as easy to keep it a secret!"

    There is proper punctuation added to make it easier to read. It also adds personality and emotion to the sentence. Try reading the two aloud and compare them. You can make changes to it if you feel it necessary.
