Disgruntled Workers Day 2024

Newman from Seinfeld    
I too have been a disgruntled worker on occasion.

When you work for somebody else, they get to control those aspects of employment you may or may not have been accustomed to controlling.

Family businesses and mill supply companies in particular enjoy making the politics as tedious as possible.

The one exception to this in my experience was the handbell place.

It was a family business but they did not make the politics tedious at all. You either did what they needed or departed.

So today is Gruntled Workers Day. This year it is observed July 13. I don't have any information about the frequency of the happening.

My advice to the disgruntled worker is "grin and confront it". Then perhaps pass gas in their general direction.

There's typically not much you can do to amelorate any difficulties in the work place aside from departure.

Happy Gruntled Workers Day.
