How do you deal with a complaining co-worker?

How do y’all deal with it?

Headphones?



You really dont have to engage with them if they are being a downer. They'll get the message eventually

If they're funny with it then I kind of egg them on, get a little comedy special at work.

If they're annoying then i hit em with the "damn.. that's craaaazy " and disappear on their ass. Eventually they get the message.

 

[Heafcliffe]

No but actually work...

They'd get the hint eventually.

I’m mad this went mainstream. This was my bread and butter.

 

[SunnyD]

I don’t. I tune them out and that usually brings them back to earth.

 

[Joe Budden]

If it’s work related complaints I always say “go talk to management or HR about it”

The response is always.
