Description
Have you heard the phrase "misery loves company"? That's a core philosophy of the office Complainer. They feel miserable, nothing is going their way, everyone is annoying, work is too busy, and on and on. The Complainer wants to tell you about all this, and they want you to feel the same way. It might be tempting to get caught up in the cycle of complaining with the Complainer. But this is extremely toxic, not only for your workplace, but for your own mental wellbeing.
