18: To Gripe or Not to Gripe

When is it okay to complain about work? To whom?  What is the difference between griping, unloading, advocating and expressing our true feelings at work? We talk about the emotional hot potatoes at work and the things we do to relieve our own pressure that are constructive and less constructive.  We talk about the draw of drama and griping and work, and how we have to learn to manage our instincts to fall for the quick sugar fix and instead seek substantial understanding, empathy and problem solving from the situations that evoke high emotion.   Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.   To learn more about us and our work, visit www.insidejobthepodcast.com or email us at [email protected].   To learn more about the ideas and resources discussed in this episode, check out our show notes.   Let’s connect!
