Sisyfuss<\/strong>: \/sis\u00c9\u2122f\u00c9\u2122s<\/em>\/ John loves to sisyfuss about how he is overworked. He likes to complain about his co-workers. He enjoys kvetching so much that he started a number of Facebook groups; My boss is an idiot, work sucks, and Bitchers Anonymous. It*s one of the few things that get him out from under his rock. It gives him a sense of power he doesn*t get at work. He was practically giddy the day he ignored his boss*s friend request. Etymology:<\/em> Sisyphus (in Greek mythology – the son of Aeolus, punished in Hades for his misdeeds in life by being condemned to the eternal task of rolling a large stone to the top of a hill, from which it always rolled down again) fuss (a protest or dispute of a specified degree or kind) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

It works on so many levels – the fuss + the reference to Sisyphus, but also it has “sissy” in it.<\/p>\n

Whinaholic<\/strong>: \/whin-a-hol-ic<\/em>\/ My boss is a major whinaholic about his job. Our hours are 8:30 – 5:00, but he arrives at 7:30 and leaves at 5:30 so he can smooze and cruise with the staff, but never stops bitching about all that he has to do. <\/p>\n

Etymology:<\/em> WHINAHOLIC – noun – from WHINE (snivel, or complain in a self-pitying way) + WORKAHOLIC (One who has a compulsive and unrelenting need to work)

Gripefitter<\/strong>: \/grype fit ter<\/em>\/ Charlie had gone to trade school to get his ticket, so that he would always be able to find work. After a few years of being a pipefitter, he got bored and became a gripefitter. He complained about everything to everybody, but did not want to give up his status and benefits, plus the money was great. Apparently complaining about his job ran in his family as one of his brothers was a whine merchant, another a beef industry executive and the third a journeymoan electrician. Etymology:<\/em> Gripe (to complain) & Pipefitter (A pipefitter (also called steamfitter), not to be mistaken for a plumber, is a tradesman who lays out, assembles, fabricates, maintains and repairs mechanical piping systems) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Disgruntified<\/strong>: \/dis-grun-ti-fied<\/em>\/ Manny was a disgruntified worker who hated his job, his supervisor and his coworkers. He complained abut them constantly, especially down at Lucy’s Cafe, until the day he retired. Everyone thought that he would finally be happy, but he still went to Lucy’s everyday and complained because he had nothing to do. Besides, he missed the hogs. Etymology:<\/em> grunt: unskilled laborer + disgruntled: feeling or expressing discontentment or anger + gratified: satisfaction; receive what is desired Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n
