All of us have to deal with less than desirable bosses/colleagues at some point or the other
All of us have to deal with less than desirable bosses/colleagues at some point or the other. Some of them might be downright unpopular, and will seem only natural to crib about them. But non-stop complaining at the workplace can become a habit turning us into constant whiners. There won't be a single day when someone won't bitch or moan about something or the other. It might be amusing at the outset but simply complaining doesn't serve any purpose. In fact, it can lower the morale at the workplace.u00a0 Let's take a look at why chronic complaining can be disastrous: 
It makes matters look worse than what they are
As we complain, we only focus on the negative side of a matter. While 80 percent of the things around us might be fine, we only draw attention on our problems, shortcomings or annoyances. This makes matters look doubly worse.u00a0
It becomes a habit
More often than not, complaints tend to grow by the day, once people start indulging in them. After a period of time, every situation turns into a problem; all colleagues become hostile and nothing seems to work out well. It's difficult to switch over to a positive mindset.u00a0
People get what they focus on
Confirmation bias or the tendency to interpret new information in such a way that it reconfirms prior beliefs stems from such negativity. What a person already believes influences his/her perception of everything around him/her.u00a0
Leads to one-down-man-ship
People like to harp about their positive accomplishments, similarly they like to state as who's the worst sufferer of them all. This type of conversation highlights the person who can complain the loudest, which is pretty unhealthy.
It makes people unhappy
Constant complaining destroys the hope and motivation to build a better workplace. It makes people indifferent and lethargic thereby affecting productivity. Even those, who work at making things better slump into inactivity as they feel that their efforts are a waste.u00a0u00a0
It kills innovation
People become less creative in such a hopeless situation. They feel that their ideas will be rejected or won't become successes. Moreover, chronic complainers are quick to nip new ideas or inputs.
It favours negative people
The one who sees maximum negativity in a situation gets the highest status amongst complainers. They treat positive people as nau00efve and unrealistic. Optimistic and appreciative people find it easier to break barriers, and connect with people, no matter who they are.u00a0u00a0u00a0
It promotes bad relationships
People create strong internal relationships based on common complaints, and unite against others.u00a0 But negative experiences form the foundation of their relationships, which doesn't bring joy to others around them. People continue to stay together as long as they complain, digging them deeper into a complaint mind set.u00a0
