The Necessity of Giving Gratitude at Work

The Necessity of Giving Gratitude at Work

My friend Rob told me that his co-worker complained about every little thing. It dragged him down. If someone left work early he would chime in. If someone didn’t send him the right format on a report he would grumble. No one went the extra mile for him because he would always find a way to complain about something.

Do you know anyone like this?

People complain at work because they focus on the “lack” instead of the “joy” that they get from their job. They do this for a number of reasons:

• They don’t feel appreciated by their boss.
• They’ve skewed their expectations of what they really want out of their job.
• They don’t feel appreciated by their co-workers.
• They aren’t happy with the work they are doing.
