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 .
