The Office Grouch
Are you the “Office Grouch”? You know the person at work who never smiles or never has a good thing to say even when they’re being rewarded???? How would you know if you were? Well, here are a few ways that might help you assess yourself and your grouchy-ness!
1.
ou don’t say “Good Morning” (or evening or afternoon) when you enter the workplace, you wait for others to say it first.
2.
Instead of telling others they did a good job on a project (and they actually did), you normally respond with, “…it was okay, but I would have done it this way…”.
3.
When people are talking to you, you give them no eye contact and say, “I hear you”.
4.
You often say words like, “stupid”, “dumb”, “waste”, “ridiculous”, etc.
5.
The mood changes from all smiles and giggles when you enter the room to somberness and excuses to leave the room.
Okay, this is really poking fun but hopefully this isn’t you! But if it is, try to change at least one aspect of your attitude, you’ll begin to feel better once you do!
