Stress and work used to be considered as ‘executive’ affiction but the truth is that stress.

The ultimate ‘age accelerator’ is more likely to affect those struggling along in the middle of organizations than those at the top.

The reason for this is that those at the top have more control over their working lives,

Sure, they may have to make megabuck decisions, but at least they get to make the decisions.

It’s far worse for the stress levels, as oodles of research in recent years by Professor Cooper and others has shown.

To be lower down in the pecking order and have all your decisions made for you.

Or to feel in the dark about decisions affecting your job and your life in Stress and work in the Mental friction

How many people who feel powerless at work come home and take it out on their families

By quarrelling with their spouses and shouting at their children?

For older workers, many if whom may not have spouses or children, the stress is more likely to manifest itself in serious illness.

Depression and felling unable to cope are also symptoms of stress,

Not to mention all those furrowed brows and hanglog expressions which are so ageing.

Metal stress of the work and one thing many will be feeling increasingly in the next millennium.

Will be tension from older workers wanting to retire but who can’t, from the younger workers having to pay more  for the strained social security systems (especially in the States), from those who have planned for their retirements and those who haven’t. The American Social security system originated in the thirties to move out older workers and give opportunities to younger people, Now the system is trying to lure people to stay in satisfying jobs but because they can’t pay for them to retire in the Metal stress of the work.

Companies concerned about the growing scale of stress – related problems have hired stress counselors and put in gymnasia so that staff can work off their frustrations, but more enlightened retirement policies could help. Changing pension law would enable people to phase out gradually, as Professor Sir Richard Doll (eighty – five) suggests, rather than being forced to work more then full time until retirement age in order to collect a decent pension, as the pensions is assessed on the basis on that last year’s income rather than on an accumulated average over the year in the Metal stress of the work.

COMMON CAUSES OF STRESS AT WORK

These include uncomfortable working position (computer screen too high / close / for away; unsuitable chair; work surface that’s too low, etc.,) unpleasant working environment (‘sick building without natural light fresh air, pot plants, working with foul – smelling chemicals in improper ventilation; being subjected to noise, etc.,), feeling over – pressured by work and feeling ‘sidelined’ and insecure about your job in the Metal stress of the work.

Job security has been a major stress factor over the past decade, with ‘downsizing’ and ‘delayering’ and all those fancy new words that mean firing being bandied about. Middle managers are either squeezed between the layer above and the layer below them or find themselves without those protective layers, doing the work of all three, as part of the new streamlining in the Mental friction.

WAYS OF COMBATING STRESS AT WORK

Define your problem to yourself, at least, and preferably to someone in authority if you a have a reasonable complaint. Think of what needs changing in your working environment and see if you can change it without simply complaining about it. Bring in a book to raise your computer on if necessary, a back support for your chair, a pot plant to refresh the atmospheres, around your desk. Join with other workers, if relevant, to protest against poor ventilation, chemicals, etc., If your company doesn’t have a trendy stress counselor, try to speak to your union representative or a health and safety executive in confidence of you  feel there is a serious safety issue in the Mental friction.
