Grievance

Hi

What\s the difference between grievance and complaint?


Thanks in advance

Very broadly speaking, the word 'complaint' suggests that you tell someone (eg your boss) about a problem. The word 'grievance' does not suggest this so strongly. Maybe you just feel annoyed but you don't tell anyone.
