@LadiesofHive - Contest #182 questions are:
1️⃣ How do you handle job stress? Do you deal with it well, or at some point has it generated some health discomfort or problems within the family? Would you prefer to do your office work from home?
~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~
2️⃣ Contrary to question 1, despite how strong your work may be, do you take it as an escape from the everyday tasks of the home?

Job stress is inevitable. Once you are in a job at some point or another you are going to be in a stressful situation. Those, meetings, reporting's, deadlines, target ls, annual appraisal, performance management, it's all like shooting at you. Well for me, I am an HR and people say we don't take stress, rather we give stress. That's not true, being an HR and making all the decisions for an employee is the most stressful because you need to ensure that you do not make any unfair decisions for an employee.

Now I no longer work in a full-time job but in the past, I have a long working history. The companies I worked were the top-tier companies like Accenture and TCS and so was the stress at top level. I would make it a point to never bring that stress home. I had some work rules set for myself since that time my Son was also small and I had to ensure he also gets good quality sufficient time from me.

One thing I made sure was that I reported to work on time and left sharp on time. Some of my colleagues would come late and then leave late and when I would leave on time, they would pass comments like, I am leaving early. I would have very clear communication with all my bosses and always let them know my limitations. I would make sure that there would never be slack in my work. I would make sure to be disciplined in my work and behavior and with that I always could draw my boundaries and that helped me lot with work life balance.

This is one thing I strongly believe that if you work with full commitment in your working hours then you will find yourself less in stressful situations. I had to work long hours on many days but that would not create any stress or pressure on me because I would always keep it in mind that it was just about completing that job. Saying all of that, it is impossible to not get stressed out at certain times with extremely challenging timelines. But come may whatever I would not bring that home. Once I left office it would leave there itself

When I was working, there were times when I wanted to be home and enjoy the home life, specially because my son was also small and I was missing many moments with him. But at the same time doing the house chores was never my cup of tea. Thinking of doing the daily cooking was the most dreadful. I any day preferred to be at work then home, I found it more difficult to do the house work then my job. Till today I have the same feeling. Though now I am not fully working nor full time at home, it's a mix of both life and I am enjoying this.
