We've all worked with a Negative Nancy. She walks in the front door and happiness runs out the back. Everyone dreads having to collaborate with a Negative Nancy because that work attitude is so terrible. And you'd rather skip lunch than have to sit next to Nancy in the breakroom, subjected to the endless comparisons between the office and a medieval prison.... Negative Nancy is a huge buzzkill. For the sake of your career, stop being like Nancy and start making the most of your workday. You'll be glad you did.
