This might be shocking but there are observations that those who complain a lot are NOT good workers. They have ample time to look into some lapses and are not busy enough improving themselves,

Research has shown that across a wide array of psychological events, people tend to focus more on the negative as they try to make sense of the world. They tend to pay more attention to negative events than positive ones.

Complaining is good so to express the negative things you are feeling. It is also a feedback mechanism to improve system lapses and judgment. But dwelling and making a career out from it is different, Chronic complaining is unhealthy.

A chronic complainer is always focused on obstacles and barriers in any situation in life. They see every little change as a problem and complain about it. They focus on mistakes and have a negative perspective instead of focusing on the brighter side of the situation (Rogerro, 2022).

Is there a relationship between chronic complaining and efficacy at the workplace?

The chronic complainer will often attempt to engage co-workers in their negative and unproductive discussions. They view their co-workers as allies and believe they are equally passionate about the issues (Pate, 2023). This would lead to unproductive time and can allow their brains to be rewired to complaining rather than being effective workers.

Repeating a behavior like complaining makes a person’s neurons branch out, easing information flow. This makes it much easier to repeat that behavior in the future—so easy, in fact, that the individual might not even realize doing it.

Scientists like to describe this process as, “Neurons that fire together, wire together.” Repeated complaining rewires the brain to make future complaining more likely. Over time, the person finds it is easier to be negative than to be positive, regardless of what is happening around them. Complaining becomes their default behavior, which changes how people perceive the individual (Bradberry, 2021)

Research from Stanford University has also found that complaining reduces the size of the hippocampus, which, is responsible for memory and problem solving. The study found that engaging in complaining or simply hearing someone complain for more than 30 minutes could physically damage the brains.

Therefore, how can complainers achieve in real life when the size of their brains is shrinking?
