About how shit the job is?! Every single day,

I too find it shit, and that’s why I’m actively looking for a new job.

Aibu to think stop moaning if you aren’t even going to attempt to change?

Some people just love to whinge. They would be unhappy in a happy job because then they wouldn't have anything to complain about.

Tell colleague that these continuous negative comments are not conducive to a professional work environment. If they want to moan, they can do it in their own time.

I have a colleague who moans all the time. I am a positive person who sees the best in most things and I just find her complaining so boring and joyless. I do listen to her and try to sympathise but I can’t help thinking how sad it is for her, going through life just seeing negatives about everything all the time. No advice for you, just sympathy!

Zone out while they're whinging, look at the clock and work out how much money you've earned while listening to their pointless moaning Grin

Works for me every time. Also boring meetings, having tasks redone for no good reason, u turns by management etc...

Hans out "moan vouchers"
You get 2 a week. When they are gone, they are gone.

My colleagues do the same. I've solved this by avoiding communal areas and just staying at my own desk.

Ask her "so what are you going to do about it?"
