"Why should I care about washing this house when the world is falling apart?" Some of them may care more. "If I make a mistake here, I'll get fired and never find a job in 2020." Either way, stress WILL increase the amount of mistakes done. For example, this study saying that surgeons make up to 66% more mistakes during stressful situations. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181219191052.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181219191052.h...
