Complaining is what we need inorder to let go of some of our feeling. But it isn't right to make it like an outburst. That’s right.

We should complain in a right matter instead of just keeping it to ourselves. Since it's an emotional feeling, it needs to be out.It will only burden our lives if we keep holding on to it. I agree.

But it's not good to stand in corners and moan to your co-workers because the boss has just done a brilliant exercise in seagull management. That only spreads the rot. To stop it happening again, it's the boss you need to talk to - or better still, say no! M Agreed!

But when someone takes time to raise an issue in the right way with the right person, it means they care and are engaged. NOT doing something is a sign of indifference or an indicator that maybe the atmosphere isn't safe for telling the truth. Not good. And...the people we trust the most in life are frequently the ones who confront us and raise issues. Why? Because we know they care enough to tell us the truth instead of letting us do something that isn't in our best interest. A proper complaint today may lead to increased happiness tomorrow! Right, Alex,
