LINK Maybe it isn't so great to always be nice at work
I'm looked upon somewhat fondly as the curmudgeon in my workplace. It's not that I enjoy being negative, but I sure as shit don't like to be so god-awful upbeat about everything. Sometimes things aren't so great, and that's fine.
I found this article interesting, given that in our culture, we don't always appreciate our colleagues who are not always sunshine and rainbows.

That was a good read. Very timely for me at my work.

Glad you liked it. I don't want to work in an office of assholes, either, but if making "being nice" the focus is definitely annoying at best and counter-productive in its more advanced forms.
