Sick of people moaning about their jobs

Unless they have a good reason, like manager is bullying them, job is emotionally taxing, hours are totally horrendous (e.g. a nurse working nights on ICU), I am so sick of people moaning about their jobs to us. DH has been made redundant because covid has meant the company he worked for are probably going to go under in the next few months, my work has also been severely impacted.

But the amount of people moaning to us that 'their bonus wasn't big enough' (they aren't on commission and get a good basic salary, no bonuses promised) or other trivial things....I find it so insensitive. The last person that did it, I did snap and tell her to be grateful she has a job in the current climate, particularly one that is well paid as if she were to lose it she would be classed as unskilled and there are a lot of 'unskilled' workers currently jobless and fighting to fill the same vacancies.

AIBU? I just wish people would read the room.

I'm just desperate to go back to full time. We're all back in work but on part time hours at the moment.
I have far too much work to try to do in a few hours a day.

You were very rude to snap and really nasty in your comment. This is your problem, nobody else’s.

In honesty, I don't give a monkies if it was rude. I think it's pretty poor to be complaining to somebody who has just lost their income at the start of the worst recession in a long time. We have a child to support, she is moaning about work whilst also booking a holiday and buying a new car. Do I feel bad? No.

I have two friends who do this for literally hours on end, drives me up the wall, I grit my teeth and listen, but privately I'm thinking "I spend 40 odd hours at my own job, I don't need a blow by blow account of yours as well"

I'm so glad it's not only me that absolutely hates this!
