Stop Complaining
7:18 PM
If you want inside information on how "that other Manager" got a promotion, or a perk or even a lunch with the Boss, stop complaining. Complaining is not only a vivid advertisement of a bad attitude, it also provides anyone looking for a way to ignore you, the perfect justifier.
Look, verbalizing a complaint isnt the only thing observed as the same thing, your facial expression, (eyes rolling), your body language (arms folded) and even the way you carry yourself expresses this negative obstacle that people read easily. Its also contagious and Managers and Executives know it boosts more complainers in a silent, unproductive but swift manner.
Read the book..."Leadership and Self-Deception" (Arbinger) to learn whats really going on and how career deadly this attitude can be.
This fragile employment market is providing "at will" employers with a hair trigger for cutting anything that smells negative or has the possibility of smelling that way. If you do it, stop it.
