We've all done it at one time or another-- felt sorry for ourselves about a situation at work that feels out of our control. Maybe it's a challenging project we've been assigned, or perhaps it has seemed like other divisions are given more resources or attention. Perhaps it's feeling sorry for ourselves because it seems that other voices at work are heard more often, and it feels difficult to get an opinion in.
