I only started this new job a few weeks ago, and I've become the sounding board for one coworker in particular to vent all her frustrations about the job, other coworkers, our boss, etc. So much trash talking behind their backs. It makes me uncomfortable. What's the best way to let her know it bothers me and to essentially "keep the negativity to herself" without insulting her. Mind you, I do have to continue working with her on a project and want to keep things cool. She's a lot older than me, and several positions higher than me so I need to be respectful. I need to tread lightly. Her constant complains are making me bitter on a job that I otherwise love. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help.
