Workplace Negative Nancy's
I work with an incredibly negavtive personality in my office. This person is always full of doom and gloom, never happy and always bitching especially about work. And if she gets an attitude about something, it lasts the entire day and often carries over to the next. I will never understand how people can go day to day always being so mopey. The attitude makes it difficult to train or coach not only her but others who hear her opinions.
Now I may have some not so nice things to say about my job and those I come in contact with from time to time. There may be an instance or two (or fifty) where I vented about my job. But I never outwardly moan and complain to the point I bring others down. In fact, as management I am careful to represent the company in a good light to employees no matter how I feel about a particular policy or situation. Venting is done privately, at the bar, or for the extreme enjoyment of my wonderful blog readers.
I guess I'm sayin life's too short. Everyone gets down or cranky from time to time, but I find a little perspective goes a long way when my own 'tude gets tiring.
