Without getting into too much detail, I work in a very dysfunctional environment trying to track inventory on behalf of our customers. The problem is the customers never give us accurate inventory and transaction data and none of my client facing coworkers wants to communicate this to them. So we are constantly in a state of garbage in, garbage out.
The frustration is getting to me and I have become very blunt in my responses, my manager called me out today being concerned with my tone. To be fair he is completely right, and I am definitely letting my frustrations get the best of me.
How do you guys keep your cool when frustrated at work, and any advice on keeping my emails and communications as safe as possible?
