[quote=Anonymous]My sister is in her late 40s and has gone through a series of profession jobs over the past decade.  Most of these have ended by her being laid off (this field tends to do massive layoffs/hiring as projects start) OR because of her negative attitude.  She is a complainer, big time.

She has been in current job for ~18 months and had her first "talking to" about her attitude.  Her reaction is that she is shocked - because she feels she is justified in her complaints.  And she wants to start looking for a new job.  I want to be supportive, but after this many times in a row ( 3 I can remember in the past 5 years), maybe her employers are right and she needs to be more positive.  How do I nicely tell her this?

For her current situation I do think she's justified based on her side of the story.  her coworker isn't pulling his weight and she complains to everyone about it.  I think since she hasn't had to supervise people she doesn't realize that a supervisor wouldn't waste time on her attitude unless it was really affecting her co-workers.  I just don't know how to tell her to stop complaining without hurting her feelings.  [/quote]
