Do the coworkers ever stop complaining? 😭
This sounds weird but I don’t know how to phrase it. Last summer, I got a dream internship in archaeology which is objectively cool as hell! I was hype all summer while doing it but a lot of my coworkers were miserable and complaining the whole time. It was really the only thing that made it difficult. I figured ok, it’ll probably be better when I get a job in the field! No! I don’t know what to do.. my coworkers, supervisors… even my bosses complain about the work a lot? I have no idea how to approach it without seeming like a total asshole who’s like “just be happier!” Cus it’s obviously much more complicated than that but this is so much a field you don’t go into because it’s a last resort but rather cus ur passionate. I keep looking forward to finally meeting “my people” in the field who are equally as passionate about the work I do but they all seem so jaded and disinterested in the work :-( to the point that when I find artifacts they just complain cus it’s more paperwork. I don’t want to become like this!!!! Have other people noticed this?? Does it ever get better? Cus it’s not a oh, a few bad coworkers thing, it’s all the coworkers I’ve ever had to deal with now two years in a row!!
