When working with a fellow coworker who has a terrible attitude about life and is always complaining, here are some suggestions for dealing with them. The first thing you should do is try to speak with them and get a grasp on their situation. What if they are complaining only because no one listens to them? Discuss the matter extensively and figure out what’s going on, and hopefully this will end the complaining. It is also a good idea to see if their complaint is a real one or not. If their issue is a real one, you should see if you can give them help and support.

Most people complain about not receiving enough positive reinforcement, being managed incorrectly, being given too much to do, feeling scared because of work, having too little to do, and wanting more in wages.

Do not let yourself get caught up in the drama of the situation. If they need a therapist, they should get one, not use you. Restrict your help to giving tips, recommending books, and talking to them, but that should be about it. Figure out how much you can take before you become your coworker’s shoulder to cry on. Hopefully your coworker is a normal person who has a brain, and this will help them. Complaining once in a while is fine, and now the coworker can move on.

Sadly, if the coworker is mean, nuts, neurotic, you providing a helpful hand will do nothing. You’ll have to stand tall and order them to stay away from you. Let them know you will have nothing to do with them and you don’t want to hear them complain. Maybe you can inform them that they need a new hobby in life, because complaining is not cutting it.

Call your HR department or boss if nothing else works. You are not the one responsible for dealing with this situation. Try not to yell at or abuse your coworker, because this will lead to you being fired. If you still can’t stop the complaining, eventually you may lose your mind from this terrible atmosphere. If your employer can’t stop the problems, then you should leave. It will be emotionally healthier to transfer to a new environment. Consider this alternative if all else fails.

1. Be careful what you wear to an interview. You should just wear a suit, it is always the right thing to wear. Dark navy blue or black is the color of choice, along with a white shirt and dress shoes. You will look perfect!

2. Looking like a slut on your interview is not a good idea. You should have a shirt that covers your collarbone, pants that are loose, and a relatively long skirt. Make sure your hair looks nice and conservative and that your jewelry isn’t too showy.

3. Always call your potential employer by Mr. or Mrs., not their first name. It might offend them if you call them their first name before they allow you to.

4. Don’t bother dressing up if you are in the entertainment industry, they’re casual all the time unless they’re chilling with tv executives and big wigs.

5. Have some extra resumes on you when you go to the interview. Supposedly the employer has already read it, but never take that for granted.

6. Wipe your hands before you shake, because it’s gross to shake with sweaty hands. To sweat is to show anxiety.

7. Making eye contact is important because you appear confident when you do so.

8. Make sure your boss knows that you will do anything to get this job, such as coming in at all hours, doing anything they want, or making a deal with the devil. Otherwise, you will not be accepted for the job.

9. Prepare some questions for your employer so when he asks you if you have any, you sound well prepared.

10. Your employer is always right. Even if he is wrong.

11. Compile a list of compliments you can unload upon the boss, such as how great the view is, how much money he makes, or how pretty his receptionist is.

12. When leaving, shake hands, and thank the boss, and make sure to ask when they will be making a decision.

13. You will look great if you call later and thank them for the interview in your follow up call.

14. Having a follow up call a few days later is a good thing because if there are a lot of candidates, you will stand out as a proactive person and a go getter. Your employer will be more inclined to pick you for these qualities.

1. Consider meditating when it gets really quiet in the office and you don’t have anything else to do.

2. Clean up your desk if you have time to be bored.

3. You should sing Disney songs quietly around the office, so no one can tell who’s doing the singing.

4. In the clean cups in the break room, put soap into them.

5. Drop coffee grinds all over the office, and explain that you have drunk so much coffee that it’s coming out of your pores.

6. How many cups of coffee has your coworker had? Count them.

7. If you’re bored, do your assignments before they are due.

8. Clean up your computer desktop.

9. Empty everyone’s garbage cans, maybe you can score an extra job as a janitor.

10. Turn off your caller ID and pretend to be a stalker when you call your coworkers.

11. Make up a couple of gifts boxes filled with rocks and give them to your boss.

12. Find a married woman in your office and send her flowers from an anonymous admirer.

13. Yoga in the bathroom!

14. Start smoking so you can take a smoking break.

15. When you fall asleep at your desk, make a diary of your dreams.

16. Get some sleep.

17. Start a twitter and make up an imaginary life as a primate researcher.

18. Go on facebook and update your status every three minutes.

19. Start a blog about your thoughts on life, the universe and everything.

20. Think of ways that you can embezzle from your boss.

21. Rubber band balls are fun.

22. Paper clip jewelry is easy to make!

23. Have a Virgin Mary sighting by the copy machine.

24. Put food dye into all the toilets and watch people try to go to the bathroom.

25. Ask everyone how much money they think the boss is making.

26. Create a gambling circle where everyone can bet on when Mary in HR and Bob in Catering are going to get caught doing the twisted pretzel.

27. Have dog pictures on your desk and explain that it’s really just your hairy child.

28. Break up with your girlfriend on the phone and then confuse everyone since they thought you were gay.

29. Throw sharp pencils at people.

30. Eat sunflower seeds and drop the shells on the floor. There’s no need for you to clean up, that’s what the janitor is for.

31. Inform your coworkers that the boss is an alien from another planet and that he is calling people into his lair to eat their brains and make them into mummies.
