Stressful work is ok if it either
A) Increases your skill somehow
B) Gets you awarded a higher compensation
But most stressful work you encounter doesn't do either.
I find most stressful work caused mostly by poor long term planning, bad legacy code, or a poor work environment.
- atoav 3y agoIMO there are rarely ever stressful situations, that are not somehow the fault of those managing a project. They can occur, and then they are due to totally unforseeable outside influences. But most influences (be it internal or external) that can make projects stressful are totally predictable and there should already be strategies how to deal with them in an unstressful manner in the drawer somewhere. What you can find more often is shops that don't even manage to organize qhat should be an ordinary, boring, slow day in an unstressful manner. And the worst thing is that they gain nothing by that. Some seem to be even proud of how stressed things are (they confuse stress with productivity).
