Sure, it's not always fun and it's not always perfect... but if I ever have a bad day I just think back to 5 years ago when I was driving a forklift, packing shit on pallets by hand and loading trucks in incredibly muggy 100 degree weather.

There are a lot of people at my job that do nothing but bitch about how shitty it is here, and I can hardly help telling them to get out if they don't like it.
Granted, I don't know how different departments operate, and there's always the day that you're frustrated about a situation so you have to vent with your colleagues, but when everything you talk about is what's wrong with your employer, maybe it's time to move along. And it's not like it's the economy that's keeping people here, a lot of people at my work have been here 20, and 30 years and they apparently hated it every single day. 20 years is a long time to think of a solution.
