common in the workplace. You have control over what you will accept and how you let people treat you. If you are not receiving fair treatment, speak up!
Most people stress comes from managers and supervisors who treat their employees bad. You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and don’t except anything less than that.
Don’t be afraid to leave
The reality is some jobs are so stressful they really are killing you and making your life miserable. Don’t stay at a job you hate for the sake of a paycheck. Yes, I know you need money but it’s not worth your health. Your health is so important. If you are sick and can no longer work, your job will replace you quick and in a heartbeat. Don’t settle for something that’s killing you slowly. It’s not worth it and you deserve better.
In closing, your health is truly your everything! No job or business is worth your health. There will be times you have stress but you must be able to control the stress. No job is perfect, but you must be at a place you enjoy. Life is too short to settle and your job is not the source, but it’s the resource.
