Are you known among fellow employees as a complainer?
Just asking. I’ve known a few individuals through the years who viewed themselves and their constant complaining as heroic; while their fellow employees viewed them as pain in the ass troublemakers.
The Scottish poet Robert Burns, I believe, said: “Of all the gifts the Giftie gie is; to see ourselves as others see us.”
Merry Christmas
No. I always bit my tongue. Another employee with a couple of years in said in the break room once: “People on disability make more than we do.”
Another long-time employee came out on the floor once when I was stocking and said: “Does it ever frustrate you when they expect you to meet those ridiculous quotas?”
The “complainer”s at the store were management. Always gettin’ on people for production when most of the people were workin’ hard for not much pay while the store had profits coming of their ears.
As to being “complainer”: Why is it so often assumed that the worker has an attitude proper while it can’t even be considered that the corporation might have a greed problem?
