If the listener knows who you are referring to, this is gheebah.

i have a question regarding Ghibah. if I give an example regarding someone’s fault towards other people without mentioning the name of actual person (for example a sentence: Some people (without mentioning the name) in office does so and so bad things which need to be avoided), does it will consider as Ghibah? or it is permissible?
