Dear Madame Joy,

I have a co-worker who is always complaining about his job. Everyday he talks about how much he hates coming into work and how much he hates his managers and it seems to be never ending. I have been at this company for 5 years and it seems that he’s been doing this before I started.
Madame Joy, it’s gotten to the point that I don’t want to speak to this individual any more.
How do I get him to stop this incessant whining and complaining?

Biatched out.

Dear Biatched out.
Thank you!

What you have here is someone who is suffering from the ireallyhatemylifeandiseverybodyelsefaulbutmyownsoiwillmakeeveybodyknowhowmiserableiam syndrome. It’s in my book “Syndromes you didn’t know existed.” Chaper 4, Published by Amazonia.

You sound like you have a case of the dohknowhentotellpeopletoshupup syndrome, also in my book “Syndromes you didn’t know existed.” Chapter 2, Published by Amazonia.

Sweetheart, you are free therapy, when he finish spewing all his negativity and hate, he good but he pass that on to you and is you to deal with it now.

Is very simple, you need to tell the man to shut up. If he need to talk about miserable his life is, tell him to get a therapist.

Since you say is a coworker then you doh have to hang around him. You see him coming towards you make a swing to the other direction. Make sure you do it a few times so maybe he will get the hint.  If he sit close to you. #noisecancellingheadphones. If you can’t use earphones at work, please resist the urge to get up an smash his head in with your stapler.

Allyuh know I do like to gossip eh  but I have this friend right and she have this friend right and she friend work with this woman right and this woman use to annoy the hell out ah she. Constantly yaking about things that she shouldn’t be yaking about at work, even when nobody was talking to she. )personally i think she was mad as ass but that is just me). This went on for months and months until one day my friend friend had a vision of her picking up her stapler and just beating that woman to a pulp, then she get up and wipe off the blood off she hand and went back to work. Meh friend friend say she feel so good after hat vision that she had to get up and go to her manager and ask to move.

This we must avoid at all cost!

At Joyspirations we do encourage the use of words over violence. This individual is obviously unhappy, so you should try to be a little supportive. Simply take this man aside and very, very gently and calmly say these words. “Jackson, I have tried to be understanding and listen to you when you feeling down, however, it has come to the point now where I don’t give a rats ass anymore. You have become a leach to my work existence. I dread coming to work now simply because of you. You need to get your blasted act together and fix your damn life. If you hate your job so much, why the blasted ass you doh go an find another one an stop acting like a bitch. You doh like yuh life just flipping change it.  Go an horn yuh wife or something of just leave she because if you this much fun at work, lord that poor woman must have it good at home.” Oh yes and Jackson ‘every day you must pray and thank God that she didn’t smother you in your sleep”

Follow these simple steps and you too will attain happiness and clarity.

p.s:  Now that you’ve helped him understand his assishness he is well on the way to attaining his serenity. You are awsome!!! Assure him that you are not mad and if he feel like grabbing two beers after work, your in but make sure that something come up and you cyah go eh. cause if you think he bad when he sober, lord wait till the alcohol hit he system. Jus Sayin!

 

Madame Joy
