I could have used this advice 10 years ago. This is a great article to pass on to folks new to the working world. I don't know what other working environments are like, but I appreciate people that keep the venting to a minimum. You can easily frame yourself as the complainer, deserved or not, if you use this one too much.
- city41 9y agoVenting to your manager seems mostly counterproductive to me. I'd argue rather than vent you should at the very least identify the problem and potential solutions. Even in scrum, when doing a retro, they don't call them "negatives" but "deltas", implying don't just complain, look for a solution.
- arti-fact 9y agoExactly. If venting can be converted into identifying a problem and looking for a solution, then it can a good thing. Venting often? There may be a larger issue to tackle here.
