Communication: Are you keeping someone posted, mailed or texted?

Don't beat around the __________ Just tell me straight what's on your mind.

The boss has just sent an email asking us to keep her __________ about our holiday plans. I think there’s a new project coming up and she wants to know who will be here to work on it.

There will be changes and I will let you know the details as soon as I have them. I don’t want people __________ rumours about what will happen and creating panic about job security.
