How do I deal with difficult co-workers?
The Office Whiner
Most offices have at least one "whiner". Try to respond without being rude. Let the person complain, then acknowledge their complaint but don't empathize. Don't allow them to sidetrack you ——speak only about the issue at hand. If you have a solution, suggest it only once.
