One of the favorite past-times of my friends and I is sharing notes on stupid things people say at work. “Hey big guy, how’s it goin’?” “Let’s be sure to pick the low-hanging fruit.” Vet. Circle back. Bandwidth. Corporate speak is overused, obnoxious and it’s annoying.

Recently Details Magazine published a great article about another annoying workplace habit. The people who constantly complain about being tired. “I’m exhausted, man.” Or, for that matter, the people who complain about being WAY TOO BUSY to have time for anything. “MAN, I’m completely SLAMMED.” I’m swaaaaaaamped. Nobody wants to hear about it. The people who really ARE working their asses off 18 hours a day and twice on the weekends are easy to recognize. Everyone else is just complaining.
