Complaints are a pretty normal part of every day life.
We aren’t being treated fairly!
They are wrong!
I don’t know what to do!
Fix it for me!
I listened to someone complain for 30 minutes today and couldn’t wait to flee. Non-stop blaming others and announcing he was a victim even though I made suggestions beyond the scope of what I normally do during a discovery call. I couldn’t wait to get away!
And that is what people want to do when you are perpetually complaining at work and unwilling to change anything.
Blame is easy.
Making the effort to change your conditions, with support or without, is what great people do.
