In my experience, whenever I hear someone complaining about their job, it is almost always because of a co-worker, employer, or customer. It's as if our work wouldn't be that bad if it weren't for other people making it so. And I bet if you asked the co-worker, employer, or customer, they would complain about the person who was complaining! We are all locked in a perpetual machine of blaming others for our perceived misfortunes. It makes you realize that the jobs we are doing aren't even that bad (with exceptions of course), but it is the people involved that can really 'grind our gears.'
Whenever I, or someone else, says that their job makes them unhappy, the first thing I wonder is: what could be changed? Can we press a magic button to get along with each other? Doubtfully, maybe that's why Offices do those ridiculous "team-building" exercises out in the woods, who knows. We could always ask Snow White, she seemed to have things figured out back in 1937:
See how happy those animals are?! Now-a-days, someone would say: "I didn't mess up this room, screw you guys, clean your own crap."
Why can't we all just whistle and sing together in harmony?!
hahah jk. I've never had a job before, but it seems by your opinion that many people need to think about there other employees rather then themselves, and I agree with that!
Taking responsibility for your own actions is something that seems to have been lost in the workplace, like you said "clean your own crap" is a common mentality nowadays. This is something that I try to not do in my own life. I always own up to my mistakes, and sometimes I do enjoy a nice whistle whilst I work.
I've also, never had a job before, but I do know that we all lack on admitting to our mistakes and I agree with you that we should all learn to admit to our mistakes and work together. Good Job on your post (:
