Causes of Stress at Work

Sometimes it’s important to work for that pot of gold.  But other times it’s essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow.
~ Douglas Pagels The Boss
Bosses who go crazy over simple mistakes, who scream and holler necessarily or un necessarily, who don’t know how to do their own jobs etc are a huge source of stress.

Office Politics
People form alliances or perceived alliances and that hinders the work for those around them.

Few People & Too much To Do
The doubling of workloads is one of the biggest causes of stress as people internalize their emotions to get gigantic jobs done by them.

Unsure Future
Questions about a company’s and your own jobs stability always seem to cause stress in the workplace.

Cluttered Office
Quite simply, if a place looks like a dump on the outside; your mind is in the dumps on the inside.

Technical Problems
Technical problems and not knowing how to fix them can cause numerous office headaches as people get angry over issues out of their control.

It is unfortunate but true, that today we physically live longer than our ancestors; but die every moment by suffering perceived anxieties and worries. With stress we lower our sensitivity and the power to relax and be serene. Please don’t kill yourself over work, for what is the point of having work but not being around to enjoy its fruits.
