4. Listen before talking
If your friend tells you that they hate their job and then they don’t elaborate, they are hesitating to tell their sad story. Give them time to open up and only then start giving your opinion.
5. Don’t brag about how great your job is
The worst thing you could do is talking non-stop how cool your job is. Your friend really doesn’t want to feel low by knowing about the awesome perks and a great pay package.
6. Suggest article links and books
You can send them articles which offer suggestion on how to deal with bad bosses, bitchy colleagues and getting a hike. You can also share motivational books that would pump up their morale.
