The 'frame' around leaking

I come in to DU many times daily.
"Leaking" is very upfront in conversations.

'Leaking' seems to have a negative connotation attached.
It's 'frame'.

How do you feel about this?

(b) donnie manages people by image and reputation, he doesn't know how to evaluate actual merit. so it pays to undermine co-workers you don't like by leaking against them. you move up the ladder that way, just like on the apprentice.

he creates an environment where leaking is an important and necessary tool for the people around him.
