Friend in college worked as a cashier at a grocery store. The job would have been perfect for her except for all the people. She had a classic resting b***h face so was constantly being told to “smile!” Left that job to become an aide at the State School working the night shift.MUCH better fit.

Plus, 90% of employees say they get a sense of dread on Sundays because of the coming workweek.

Did that once. Discovered I don’t like being the boss. It stresses me out and cleaning up somebody else’s mistakes drives me nuts. I’m happiest when if sh*t goes sideways, it’s not my problem
Workplace stress is taking a significant toll on employees’ well-being:
80% of them report that stress negatively impacts either their productivity, quality of work, or both.

Employees are turning to a range of coping mechanisms to manage the mounting pressures at work:
- 57% use exercise as their go-to method for stress relief;
- 45% are incorporating meditation into their routines;
- 31% are seeking professional therapy to manage the emotional toll.
However, there’s only so much people can do for themselves. Employers should do their part too, and not just out of altruism.
According to a 2025 study in The American Journal of Preventive Medicine, burnout costs U.S. companies between $4,000 and $21,000 per employee each year — or up to $5 million annually for an average U.S. company with 1,000 employees.

In my case, not 15 extra minutes of sleep, but 1 YouTube cat short that becomes 15 minutes perhaps after claiming “One more,” to myself.

I'm always saying “idiot” under my breath. Regarding customers. Not coworkers. So far.

If I had done that in my last job, I wouldn't have run out until the thunderous applause had at least died down a little.

Is there some time of bank or reward for when our temper is held in vs releasing? I'll take a hug or a lollipop.

Truth. I hate it when after the moment I think of something better to say as I'm repeating such incidents in my head.
