What is stress?
Stress is the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressures or other types of demands placed upon them.
There is a clear distinction between pressure, which can be a motivating factor, and stress, which can occur when this pressure becomes excessive.
"Today’s workplace has become heartless and soulless. Employees are seen as units of labour, automatons, functionaries, objects for achieving designated tasks, and as costs to be minimised."

Interesting article thankyou.

I note that most of the royal mail line managers tick all the wrong boxes though!
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

I think RMs management training is exactly the opposite of the guidelines, my manager is all x on the check list.
