Stressed ‘makes us happy’
There’s an article in Metro yesterday suggesting being stressed actually makes workers happy, and those who are under no pressure at all are more miserable. Boredom can be as damaging as overwork.
I guess it is true in some ways - look at myself as an example, I tend to preform better when I’m under ‘acceptable’ amount of pressure, I’m more productive and result in greater job satisfaction and motivated to do better.
I remember there were days where I can just surf the internet all day long with nothing to do, no aim and no purpose, the days just dragged and I was pretty unhappy and was desperate to get out…
So there you go..
And apparently, most people says enjoying their job and getting on with their colleagues are more important, and surprisingly, money factor came low on the list when it comes to job happiness (they must be crazy!!)
