People complaining so much at work

People who complain all the time about their job are negative and you should stay away from them as they will lower your morale. If you want to succeed at your job, be friendly, efficient, helpful and don't get involved in squabbles at work. Some co workers can be toxic and it is best to avoid them.

Complainers really dampen the work environment. After awhile, it gets old listening to whining. Most of these people are too chicken to talk to a supervisor or to be proactive and try to fix what is bothering them themselves. It gets old listening to people who don't try and find a solution to their problems. All you can really do is calmly give them advice and try to get them to handle what is bothering them the right way.

Oh man, I know what you mean. I get SO annoyed when I hear people complain about their jobs to me. Mainly because there are plenty of other jobs out there and this person can complain, but can't DO anything about it (like find another, better job). I understand being unhappy in your position or to feel as though you aren't appreciated or paid enough, but then it's on YOU to DO something about it and not just sit there and complain. I always try to politely remind someone that they should be thankful for what they have.

I offer to help them find another job that they think they will like better. I will coach them on interview techniques, role play, etc. I would rather have them off my team then to bring morale down.

It's very annoying, I also have an colleague who always complains about how broke she is, how her job isn't satisfying her and how she could quit if she had a choice. It's very boring for me to even see her now cause I know what she's going to say, worse she's older than many of us in the office and she has high blood pressure, so even when she wants o tell you about her condition which I still feel like its unnecessary to be telling people how she got it and how she couldn't sleep the night before and "it's probably because we forever broke" her famous last line. I can't help but put on a very straight face when I see her and she always asks me if I'm angry at her, I always say, why do you think I'm angry? But in reality I'm angry at her negativity in life, so at least you have the time to "counsel" them, I don't.

complain about work?? maybe im one them but not to the point i annoy my co-workers about it.. anyway if they bother you again and complain over and over again tell them to quit find the right job for them..

Welcome to Mylot Zinda! Hmm.. i have an officemate who complains too. She talks about so many workload such that she gets rattled and have dont know which to prioritize first. Actually, we all have the same predicaments as hers. We just dont voice it out because it is part of a job, it is part of the monies that brings food to our family's table. I guess... it is all about attitude. As she is stirring negativity, i would caution you to stay away from her. Better yet, get a new set of ear plugs that muffles the whinings of your officemate hahahaha.

I find it so hard to explain, if the one who keeps on complaining is a close friends. It would be so hard, if we will argue with that kind of matter. What I usually did is, I smile and told her that " Dude, Not all the people in the world do have a job. You're lucky to have a job."

Yes it is kinda annoying to hear someone complaining and doing nothing. I also experience that here at my work. I tried to avoid talking to them since it also affects my productivity. One thing also is that negative vibes attracts negative things... Let's just smile... there's a saying that love your work and you will never feel you are working at all.... take care and good luck... God bless:D

Unfortunately, people in life connect very well with misery and like to do this to also get benefits out of life. For example, have you ever been to jury duty? It is a mass of people that complain from the second they get out of their car, to the second they get back into it. They complain about the lines, security, not getting paid, having to wait...etc. So even when people are not in work, they are complaining about it! Kind of ironic isn't it? Best thing to do is just nod your head in agreement and walk away at the next opportune time.
