Too many pessimists!

I really enjoy my work, but some of my co workers have been getting me down. They don’t like the hours and think that it’s our manager’s fault. They have these negativities building up in my head. Should I address this? How should I stay positive in this situation?

address it to your manager but first present yourself in an orderly fashioned make sure that what you plan to do to help work it out with your co-worker make sure nobody forced you to take a challenge and discharge at work of this situation to get more points a cross than others.

Some companies motivate their employees by making them associates and letting the employees know how much their work adds to the publc images of the company they work for.

Melody, The best way to stay positive is to avoid the ones that create negativity. Next time your among these people, excuse yourself. If anyone ask "Why" simply tell them you just don't want to stay focused on the negative, but would rather think about the good things, you would rather stay encouraged than get discouraged.

I think everyone should take charge of their lives and stop letting others make them believe or feel anything. To hell with those people. Many if not most people bitch about things for whatever reason. Just look to yourself and not let others influence you.

You stay positive by thinking about you and yourself. Since when did people start working for the need of others to approve your having to work to support yourself? It sounds elementary to me, if you're not born with a gold spoon, knife or fork then you do have to work and for the rest of your life. This is why your life starts with you going to school to get a decent basic education which puts you on a path to your future and yours alone. What you scared of? So how does one support himself or herself? *:) 2016

Pray and pray again. And ignore them, Don't allow their negativity to annoy you. God will make a way for you to deal with this situation in a positive way. Just stay focus and busy . If you can sing a positive uplifting song in your head while your around them , a scripture ,a poem or anything that makes you smile in your memories of happy times. You will be fine honey!

Hi Melody: Here's a quote for you: F.E.A.R has two meanings- forget everything and run OR face everything and rise. - The choice is yours.

You enjoy your work, ignore them. They just need something to gripe about. Be the stronger one and keep doing what you do best, your job. If they dont like the hours they can always leave. Just stay your positive self, and keep smiling

Melody, Co worker drama is not your problem. Don't let it bring you down with them. Just do yu job to the best of your ability and let them all wallow in their own misery probably of their own making. Keep you head down and let them roll off your back. Best of Luck, Lisa Renwick
