[QUOTE="HubBub, post: 1055988, member: 39666"] Generally speaking, complaining about the job iss a way you can instantly find common ground with your co-workers and start a conversation. It also engenders an "us vs them" mentality. It's comforting in a way, that in the "us" we find that we are not alone, that there are others that can sympathize with our plight, and in the "them", there is a group of idiots that we are superior to. It also shows that we aren't mindless drones, and a way of maintaining some level of individuality and dignity. It shows that we may carry out stupid directives, but that we know full well that they are stupid. We may work longer and harder than is necessary, but we don't do it blindly or happily. In short, complaining is an important social skill and coping mechanism in the workforce, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you decide to only work a job where the employees don't complain, you'll probably end up living in a cardboard box instead of getting paid to move them around. [/QUOTE]
