Hey Ask A Manager! Welcome to Careers! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I like your term “Fuzzy thinking!” He is definitely the enemy. Unfortunately, each person with that “Fuzzy Thinking” has to take responsibility for the way they are thinking and get it together so that it doesn’t impact their job search.

Thanks for stopping by tonight!

Well said! I think sometimes in this situation people are the victim of fuzzy thinking — they’re so focused on the fact that they resent being in that position that they don’t get out of their head and think about the impact of their attitude/behavior. And then they’re mystified when they don’t get hired, and start resenting it even more. Fuzzy thinking: it’s the enemy.

Hi Darcie! Thanks for stopping by the Careers column today and being our first comment! I agree with you. This is definitely not the time to have attitude at work. There are lots of people waiting to take any of our jobs. So keeping your job in this market should be focused on daily!

To your point – there is never a good time to have a bad attitude. For what ever reason, however lots of people don’t get that. And in this market, no one, no employer has to put up with the foolishness. Either you come with a great attitude, great focus, and prepared to give your best or move out of the way, because someone else is waiting to take your place!

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your job!!

I can’t believe that she was acting that way! Heck, I’m employed, but in this market, I come to work everyday and let my boss and coworkers know that I love working here and that I am grateful to have a job. That attitude to have is wrong in any market.
