Is it always stressful!

[Welsh_sparky_21]

Does it get easier after a few years of being a journey man spark? Not long passed and it’s very stressful at times lol!

Interesting considering Buzz hasn't posted on this thread.

That was Happyhippydad
Buzz is not part of this conversation yet
westward10 - beat me to it

I'm OK with being mistaken for Buzz. He seems full of character!?
In fact, he seems like one of the least stressed people on this forum, so he'd probably give a good reply?. As long as you could read it ??, sorry Buzz! ?

If you’re feeling stressed, under-valued and generally fed up at work, take a holiday with your wife and kids.

You’ll be totally ecstatic to see your boss again.

I would if she had not left me with my business partner who took all the assets and made me liable for all the depts and liabilities and cleaned out the bank account, have not seen the children since, they are now married with children themselves and I don't know who they are.

Oh and to add insult to injury my business partner was my financial director who had not paid any of our due VAT or Income tax for a number of years, (I trusted my brother) I became liable for that as well, obviously I declared bankruptcy and had to build another business from there without Directorship of the Company.

And you have the cheek to say we don't know what stress is?

I believe it’s Buzz’s interest in plants that helps with his dress, I just wonder what sort of plants

You’ll be totally ecstatic (and pack in work and go live off grid)

Poor old buzz copping the flak

no Mate not concentrating

Sorry Buzz have to disagree with your response on this one, I never chose to put pressure on myself, needs must in many cases, not sure of your age or experiences, but believe me filling forms and going to Wholesalers, would have been a pleasure I longed for. Just thankful for a dutiful wife and family to help me , Stress youngsters today don'know the meaning of stress, I could elaborate but nobody seems interested , a sad reflection in my experience.

I'm sure some younger people do get stressed Pete. Bit unfair that line. The older generation don't have a monopoly on stress.

 

[Mike Johnson]

No of course the older generation do not have the monopoly on stress, we now have everyone on TV telling us that the mental health issues in younger people is reaching an unprecedented level ? and they believe it.

If you think that's boring Mike that's up to you. Doesn't surprise me TBH.

 

[Mike Johnson]

I'm afraid that I am from a generation where you where told to get on with it, the now generation where not tolerated and where side lined if they could not keep up, not that this was the right thing to do, but it does seem that we now have a disproportionate number of people who can't cope being supported by those that can.

 

[stevethesparks]

The original OP was referring to work related stress.
It would be interesting to have an answer to post #29 from Westwood10 to see if the OP is employed or self employed, and see whet the actual problem is.
To be fair, he's probably been scared of by a couple on here that have tried to turn it into a poxy competition.

 

[Pete999]

Sounds like STRESS is the new COVID get a life Lads Grow some and stop feeling sorry for yourselves

Apologise for my rant

I think you have a fair point there Mike. I think it has been realised that things weren't being dealt with properly in the past, but we have probably 'over corrected' a bit.
