Negative Workplace Culture:
Complaints from customers, coworkers, friends, family, the news, and social media poison attitudes leading to an unhappy, unproductive, and unprofitable workplace culture.
Lower Profits:
Complaining increases stress, illness, absenteeism, burnout, and turnover negatively impacting the bottom line.
Leadership Problems:
Complaining causes discord, creates alliances, and kills cooperation.
Mental Health Issues:
Complaining increases anxiety and tension. This stress limits the ability to think clearly and learn efficiently.
