Smile as if Your Job Depended on It

It's has a touch of Orwell's 1984, but in general I think I could get behind this rule: No Whining at Work!"
A German company has decided those who are always at odds with the world and must share their unhappiness with their co-workers make the office a bad place to be. I can support this if it also banned complaining about your love life, relationships, and relatives.

He was asking for just the outside smile. Maybe the boss is happy knowing how unhappy the workers are trying to look like they are happy.
