Grumbling @ Work Doesn’t Work
Protips written by Maloi Salumbides


What’s the atmosphere in your workplace these days? Are people working with smiles on their faces? Happily humming a tune while attending to their responsibilities? Or are they crowding the office pantry to recite their liturgy of complaints and disagreements with company policies and management decisions?

While it feels good to grumble and vent our frustrations over workplace happenings that we don’t find favorable, it really is a futile exercise if we share it with people who can’t do anything about the situation. Grumbling can be counter-productive and destructive in the long haul.

Let’s observe what grumbling can lead do:

1) Grumbling gives birth to more complaints and anger.

2) Grumbling makes all possible glimmer of hope seem dim.

3) Grumbling paralyzes us to inactivity.

4) Grumbling poisons our positive attitude towards work and others.


Ephesians 4:31-32 “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”
