Translate the following English sentence to French:
"If something else were going on, then we must have heard about it through the grapevine because over the past few weeks, rumour had it that some aspects were useless, that certain appointments or certain people had not been transferred and that some of them did not come up to scratch."
S' il se passait quelque chose d' autre, nous l' aurions apparemment déjà entendu dans les couloirs, car le bruit courait ces dernières semaines qu' il y avait des choses qui ne tournaient pas rond, que certaines nominations ou que certaines personnes n' avaient pas été transférées, que quelques-unes ne convenaient pas... mais ces rumeurs se sont tues.
