Phrases for complaining about your job

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode

No matter how much you like your job, there are always a few things to complain about. In today's lesson we'll use five sample sentences to learn phrases and expressions for talking about negative points at work.

Are any of these complaints true for you presently? Or maybe you've experienced these things in the past. Try to write a sentence or two putting some of the expressions we learned into practice.

Remember to come check out my Business English Course. In addition to the lessons focusing on practical situations, it also includes lessons on business idioms – yes, many informal expressions are actually used in the business world or when talking about work – so you'll learn those as well inside the course.
