Changing My Work Climate

Decent Essays
Hey Colleen,

I have in the past let someone else’s negativity effect my way of thinking. My work climate can sometimes be negative changing my attitude and how I function. We have had a few altercations at work and then there are people who mope around creating a somber environment. When the work climate is negative it can be toxic and I tend to do less at work.

    If people are optimistic and look for the good in everything, chances are they will get the good in everything, because they chose the ignore the bad. People who choose to see the negative side of things, or are pessimistic, tend to receive the negative aspects or side of things. For example, a person who is positive about all of the studying they did for an upcoming test, will stress less about it, and typically score better than someone who negatively views they’re studying. On the other hand, if someone thinks they did a poor job of studying, they will typically stress about their test, and not score as well. This of course differs among each person, because everyone is different.…

    Hi Dawn, I agree that cognitive dissonance can be positive or negative depending on how it is handled. I love your positive attitude but confused at the same time about the situation of doing your work and incorporating your supervisor work also.

    In The Menace of Negative People, Barbara Ehrenreich states, “That negative people do suck. They suck the energy out of positive people like you and me. They suck the energy and life out of a good company” (Ehrenreich). I couldn’t imagine what the world would be like with no negative people, but what I could tell you is that, if you stay away from negative people you will stay positive throughout your days. Barbra Ehrenreich writes, “A Kansas City pastor put the growing ban on “negativity” into practice, announcing that his church would now be “complaint free”.…

    Throughout my entire life, I have only had three different jobs, and I was able to experience working in two different types of environments. I was seventeen when I had my very first job, and I was a receptionist at a hair salon. The environment at that place was more serious because it was high end, so they had more of an upper class clientele. I would say that this type of environment is one that I am the least comfortable in because I felt like I could not really be myself, and I was always afraid of making a mistake because I felt like my boss would not be at all lenient with me, so I was afraid of that career risk. (Waldron & Kassing, 2011)…

    iii) Task Monotony: This is another factor that causes stress in employees.
