Quit your job and stress will be gone.

This feels like a control piece aimed at hybrid work or work from home.
It's cost. The rising cost of everything is what's stressing us all out.
That, global tensions and fears of continued and spreading war.
It's not the lack of being at the office. Ridiculous.

I found the best workplace de-stress solution-i resigned.

I was trying to listen to this but got stressed by the host interrupting...

Anna is GLOWING ✨ wish the interviewer wasn’t so rude by interrupting her

I coped by using citalopram 20 mg for 14 years, then suffered serious burnout and breakdown and had to leave. Still on medication 10 years later. I was a support worker for adults with profound learning disabilities. No one cared, and I was just replaced by some other unsuspecting poor soul.

Thank god for the Hybrid working structure. Especially with them increasing travel costs..

Stop trying. Your efforts are largely in vain unless you have true power to bargain. Anyone reading this likely doesnt. Instead do bare minimum and constsntly ask for bonuses. Flip the script

Working from home doesn’t work in the nhs, wish that wasn’t the case though 😢

[OhYeah]

Stress is caused by greedy companies who mess with your contract or do underhanded things. Office workers probably got it good

Get pregnant, get social housing and claim benefits. Enjoy life without work/stress.

As long as organisations keep seeking for higher profit than previous year through increase revenue and lowering opex, it will just get worse.

[Bobalicious]

Once you rid yourself of annoying coworkers, your stress levels should fall.

If the interviewer would stop cutting Anna off when she's speaking it would be a better interview

[IOSALive]

BBC News, This is awesome! I subscribed because I want to see more!

[barneymagee]

She doesn’t really want to be there, she wants to be at home with the kids……😂

[JayBugi]

Yeah I’ll just work from home… as a delivery driver. 👍🏼

The best stress relief is being outdoors far far away from “work” imposed by oligarchs for their own profits
