Listen up

Today, after years of listening to my coworker complaining about everything in her life, including her job, I finally stood up to her and bitched at her for complaining and not doing anything about it. She went to my boss, and now it's in my job description to listen to her when she complains. FML

Get skin toned ear plugs, and simply nod your head and make noncommittal noises whenever she starts ranting. It's what I do with my mom, and it works like a charm.

They're doing great things with earplugs these days. And nodding your head like a bobble head keeps your neck nice and loose.

WHA-WHA-WHAT?! Is she f****** the boss or something? What is your actual job? Are you in a union?

I guess that would make finding another job in your field a bit difficult, but you may want to consider that. Or, as the other suggested, ask for a raise since you've been given extra duties

This seems like a plus. Now when she's bitching you can think "Wow I actually get paid to listen to this shit!"

It would be really....if they paid me more for it than before I was forced to listen...still the same wage.

Tell them since your job description has changed and you're doing more work then you demand a pay raise.

Unless your job is being a therapist I don't think your boss can force you to listen to your coworker complaining.

Just keep replying "Yes I know" to everything she says, It really annoys people someone that just says the same thing over and over. Or when she complains about something complain to her about a similar thing that's happened to you, (doesn't have to be true) Be a little creative, Take control of the conversation, steer it to something that she has no interest in. but maintain your tact, and a respectful attitude so it doesn't come back upon you.

Headphones are a simple answer - Wear them plugged in even if you aren't listening to anything.

I used to work with a guy like this. He'd always talk about his shitty life. But then... the guy would also listen to talk radio and... talk... to the radio. I'm serious, he'd tell the radio just how he thought about all those damn liberals. It freaked me out.
