how do employees show dissatisfaction?
149365
It is the height of folly to imagine that employees will do what their employers believe case the responsible thing, and report their dissatisfaction to their supervisors.  Generally speaking, people expect their employers to recognize problems and correct them without input from the employees, and become disgruntled when those corrections are not automatically made.  Their dissatisfaction will be revealed through less-efficient approaches to their work, lower productivity overall, a tendency to hold management to employee-benevolent rules (even when ad hoc suspension of such rules is clearly called for), absenteeism, and eventually attrition.  Wise managers discern morale problems without being told, address issues which might be contributing to dissatisfaction, and make overtures to demonstrate that they value their employees.  Without knowing your specific business, it is difficult to say which such overtures are likely to succeed.  Best of luck with a difficult situation.

When I really think about it all of my bad days in work have been down to b) colleagues:\n\nAnnoying colleagues who drop you in it so you look bad and/or have to work overtime \nColleagues who make stupid or sexist remarks. \nManagers who take praise for your work and blame you when their own projects go wrong. \n\nThose things have caused me so much grief that I have felt sick at the thought of going in the next day. Normally I deal with it by quitting. More recently I have decided to raise these issues with management. That brings me on to my final point:\n\nMy bosses's perception of me even though he's never spoken to me or seen my work. This is important because this decides whether or not you are going to get a pay rise.\n\nSo bad colleagues affect everything on your list. Remove the annoying people and work would be great.

If your company has a human resources department that will be you first line of defense, candidly speaking with the person concerned with interoffice relations and staff management about concerns you have regarding attitude and how that may be effecting performance in the work place wouldn't hurt.   The trick is to be very diplomatic and approach the subject as a concern for the well being of the company. \n\nAvoid making accusations and pointing fingers, initially.  See if the company is able or willing to resolve the problem within itself.   \n\nIf the harassment continues or escalates do some research into employee right agencies in your area.  Contact them with your concerns.

In bigger corporations such as mine, a new employee has a six month probationary period in which he/she can be fired at will. \n\nAfter he/she has completed the probationary period and is considered a permanant employee, there is a disciplinary process that has to be followed, unless the offense is grevous, meaning that it is blatent disrespect, violence, or something against the law. \n\nFor an attitude problem, a verbal warnal would be given, folllowed by a first written warning. The written warning has to be very specific, so keep a log of incidences and dates. The written warning has to include action steps for the employee to follow to get into compliance, and a time period to folllow the steps laid out. During that time, they are again placed on probationary stautus. After a second written warning, if they are unable to comply with the rules laid out, they can be fired.

You need a positive attitude in order to succeed in the business world today. Negative attitude you'll be stressed before you even get to work. I am in the service industry working for huge oil sands they don't appreciate bad attitudes, it also rubs off on your co-workers. I can't stand working with negative people it just brings me down. They are looking for people with a great attitude with people skills.

They wouldn't take you serious if you left, and told them,  they would think you were just mad ex-employee. go to the Boss, in strictest of sincerety and confidence and state your observations, let him decide. Then, if you don't like the way they handle it, then leave and report it to higher authority until it is resolved. Never watch an injustice, at least try to make it better.

Take it up with the management.  As soon as you see that a staff member at the bottom rung is just giving you what they are told to say, ask to speak to their manager.  To do otherwise, wastes everyone's time and energy.  No sense upsetting someone who has no authority to change anything, or upsetting yourself, and looking bad.

I work in a small office as well sounds to me that she doesn't look at the possitve side of things negativity and whining can spread like wildfire. Just say oh that is too bad and say something cheery. All problems should be unloaded at the front door. Work is work and to perform up to your best ability you have to do that and pick up the problems again at the end of the day. Don't ask how are you just say hi move the convo to t.v or a joke you heard. Isn't a pretty day so forth good luck.

It happens all the time in the workplace. People just get a kick out of hurting peoples feelings. They try to do it to me sometimes but I take the fun out of it by just acting like I dont understand It sickens them instead you can see it in thier sad little beady eyes!

That's a big topic but here are some thoughts to consider. \n\n- Have specific goals and standards for employees. Much easier to evaluate and they will perform better, too. Most people want to do well. If they know what is expected, it's easier for them to do what you want.\n\n- Give specific feedback and EXAMPLES along with judgements. E.g.: "Communication skills with other departments need improvement" would be so much better is you also said, "Examples: In August, Stella reported that Tom had asked for an attendance report but later, we learned that he really needed the report listed for the R&D group only." \n\nThe more specifics you use, the better. To do this, you need notes! Which brings me to:\n\n- Keep notes all year. You want to note positive and negative instances over the long term.\n\n- Give feedback constantly. Don't wait until annual review time. If an employee is ever surprised by something in a review, it is almost always indicative of a manager's problem!

Negativity breeds negativity. If you're negative around my workplace you are ignored and basically shunned.

Start a reward/recongition program for employees with perfect attendance. Alternatively, you could post a list showing who was absent so that everyone can see it. Or, make the employees feel bad about being absent when they return. Say, "I wish you would have been here yesterday, I really would have liked to have your input at our meeting."

I am the boss.  I did get a tie one year from some of the women that had worked for me, I have not seen anything since then.  Most of my employees whine and cry and complain about the workplace.  Even when I had bought them doughnuts they complained about what kind I got.  I made them ham and bean soup and they complained about the type of soup.  Some people can be so ungratful.

I did. My boss came in one day and asked why I always looked like I was in a bad mood(he said it with an attitude) so I said: You'd be in a bad mood too if you worked for an As*hole like you. He looked at me, shocked and then said , you know I should fire you for that...I replied: Fire me then.....We stood there glaring at each other for a moment then he said....go back to work.. and that was the end of it. I guess you have to know how far you can push the envelope with your boss.

it can be chalked up to the general impatience of modern humans.  in a world where you can do everything online in the blink of an eye, no-one wants to wait for anything, anymore. \n\nthe hardest thing about my crappy jobs was not the work, itself, but the needlessly cruel attitude of the customers at large--treating me like crap just because i was on the clock.  as much as you try and smile and "yes, sir" and "ma'am", some peole just think that if you're working in a store, you're there for their amusement.\n\ntry being nice and patient with the employees, and you'll be suprised at the result you'll get.
