How To Deal With A Toxic Coworker Who Complains All Day (Without Losing Your Mind)

Описание: Ever walk into work already drained before the coffee even kicks in?
We break down a listener’s letter about a toxic coworker who complains nonstop—from clock-in to clock-out—and why that kind of negativity sticks around in so many workplaces.

This episode is a straight-talk guide to protecting your energy, focus, and time when you’re stuck next to someone who treats every shift like a complaint podcast. We unpack why chronic complainers thrive on attention, how venting turns into a daily routine, and why ignoring it completely doesn’t always work.

Big Slick lays out two proven strategies you can use immediately. The quiet boundary: neutral responses, zero emotional fuel, and clean exits that stop you from getting cornered. And the direct boundary: respectful, firm language that shuts the rant down without creating workplace drama. No therapy sessions. No arguments. Just clear limits.

We also cover the hidden damage toxic coworkers cause—especially to new hires—and how leaders can redirect complaints into solutions instead of endless negativity. You’ll get practical tools like micro-deadlines, calendar blocks, earbuds, and scripts that signal your time is not up for grabs.

If you’re tired of someone else’s attitude hijacking your workday, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to take control back—starting tomorrow morning.
