What is your story or complaints about work and your job? How long have you been complaining about the same thing and the same people? Don't judge yourself about your answer it is what it is.
Some of the stories and complaints often are similar to this: my boss doesn't like me, I'm not appreciated, everything is a deadline, I don't get paid enough, others don't do their fair share around here, I should get paid more for what I do here, the boss doesn't care about the employees, I just get taken for granted every time, why do I have to keep doing this, I'm just a slave here, my co-workers get away with too much, they are always off sick, a thank you would be nice once in a while.
Take the time to write to write out your story and complaints and with the knowledge that you have been saying this for a good period of time and there has been no change, ask yourself if you would be willing to any of the following:
Are you willing to stop complaining about some of what you have written about? If your story has nine parts to it would you be willing to stop telling the same story about 5 parts?
Are you willing to make your story about what you want for your job and career, make sure this doesn't involve someone else changing.
If you need to keep telling the same story next year as you have for the past days, weeks months or years, are you at least willing to add to the story or complaint some good moments about your work and your co-workers or boss or company?
If you are unwilling to change anything can you at least accept responsibility and admit now you are the one doing this to yourself and ask what you enjoy about beating yourself up year after year?
Plenty of choices to choose from, next year can be different and better and you can have a better feeling and more satisfaction at work. If you can be diligent in maintaining your new choice most of the time (this gives you room to slip) it will not be long before you see signs of your reward.
Again I have seen miracles happen and amazing changes occur when people move away from the story, jobs become more satisfying, more sales, more profits and employers who were ready to fire people resolving the situation and the employees excelling.
In the current environment with companies cutting back on jobs, they typically let go those under performing, it's not too late to change things if you find that you are under performing due to all those complaints running in your mind.
