Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by your work?
Of course! It is the No. 1 stressor in my life. You know job stress has become a very common problem these days. So we must learn to cope with it.
Totally agree. What is your solution?
Well, there are two causes of job stress. One is employee characteristic and the other is company condition. So if we want to manage job stress, both we and the companies should do something. For me, I am trying to balance work and leisure time. You know, all work and no play make Jack a dull boy.
You seem to have a very relaxed outlook.
It is necessary. Positive attitude helps to prevent stress.
But I don ' t think we can change our working condition. Anyway, we are not the bosses.
I heard some companies are providing stress management training and making changes inside them, like avoiding unrealistic deadlines and organizing relaxation activities. Our boss is a smart person. He will be learning from that if he would like to an efficient and healthy team.
