So at any given time in a company you can take a snapshot of morale. It can be ugly, meh, okay, good or great.
The trick is to realize that you need to be in an environment where the average is good to great.
There will always be the people who are cranky. Apparently, for them their fuel tanks are running on fumes. And to be fair, there will always be the super perky people who you just want to strangle for being to cheerful.
But sometimes, you can't help an environment that has trended to a poor morale due to the company circumstances. Layoffs, off-shoring, closures.
So, what can you do?
Work to stay out of the drama. Keep your own morale at an even keel. Stay as positive as you can. I know that these are difficult times. As an individual, I can control my reaction to adverse conditions.
I choose to trend upwards in my morale. I choose to be positive in the face of adversity.
