I've wondered if most people really don't like working at the places they work at. They may like it at first but then it grows on them and they eventually dislike where they work, especially if they see it as a toxic work environment. The biggest indication that this seems to be the case is due to the fact that people appear to have no problem talking crap about their place of employment and even their coworkers with friends or family outside of work but no one will ever divulge their personal feelings to their coworkers which is understandable.

Even though work life and social life should be kept secret, usually people will not keep their work problems to themselves when they are with friends and family. Not saying that you should open up to coworkers or tell them personal stuff. I don't think most coworkers are to be trusted and they shouldn't know personal stuff. Even the most genuine coworkers who mean well can still screw up and spill the beans.

But the fact that people will abide by the rules and keep their personal life out of work, yet they have no trouble bringing their work problems home with them makes me wonder how much people truly value their jobs. I'm sure there are exceptions but I think most people work at their jobs for the paycheck. I think we all do this. Do you think most people just work for the paycheck? Do you think most work environments are toxic? Just wondering what you guys thought.

And it doesn't even have to be outside of work. Coworkers can even talk bad about the job with each other, which is a bad idea. I have a coworker that does that. She hates working there and she is not afraid to tell how she feels about the job while working. She even stated that she has absolutely no respect for the job. That is fine if she feels that way, but I think saying that stuff out loud is a bad idea and it sends a message that she doesn't care if she is putting herself in danger of losing her job. I think it is unprofessional and in a way, just asking to be fired. I don't tell my coworkers how I feel. I don't want that to get back to me and hurt me later on. I want to get a new job but my coworkers don't need to know how I feel. These kinds of behavior make me wonder how much people truly value their jobs.
