Complaints or Solutions: What's Your Impact? In any workplace, it's easy to point out problems—but are you just complaining, or are you offering solutions? Managers often juggle multiple challenges, including leading teams and dealing with their own struggles. Before you vent, ask yourself: Is this helping or hurting my manager/team? Am I bringing a solution or just highlighting more problems? Shifting from a complainer to a problem-solver can transform you from a B player to an A player. Be the person who not only identifies issues but also comes with ways to fix them. That’s how you create a positive impact, grow professionally, and earn that pay rise!
