job that is LESS STRESSFUL-LOL Where in the hell is she going to find a job that doesn't have stress attached to it? So that statement fell into the category of STUPIDITY.

Some have more stress, some have less. Some supervisors are mean, others are nice. Some environments are very unpleasant, some are like country clubs. There are better and worse places to work. I say this because I've worked in really bad ones and really good ones.

Any job over $30,000 a year will have stress attached to it. Now if she is looking for a job with less stress she can apply at McDonald's-You no stress at all at Mickey D's

Good point, but if your supervisor sucks, probably even Mickey D's can be stressful.

It's always good to have a good relationship with your supervisor whether they are mean or nice. I even had good relationships with the mean ones.

That's a good talent to have.

What makes you think that there is no stress working at McDonald's? Any job working with the public is extremely stressful. That kind of job would be the last type that I would want to consider.

:eek:

Exactly. Especially if the McDonalds is an extremely busy one... try remembering 15 people's individual orders while working Drive-Thru? You can't tell me that won't stress you out.

I remember several years ago taking a job search skill improvement course at Tacoma Community College where the instructor said he worked at McDonald's for some time and that it got so hectic and unbearable that he just walked off during a break and never came back. I think he said he was in an assistant supervisor position, and when he was interviewed for future positions at places, I think I recall he said nothing about his time at McD's...

Well, she did say "less stressful" right? That's not the same as saying she wants a job with no stress attached to it.

I would think it depends what type of a person she is--meaning if she is the type to handle some other job better than the job she has now. I don't know what she is doing now, so I can't comment on that exactly. I know there are some jobs I would find less stressful than others. Speaking of McDonalds, I know there is NO WAY I could handle such a job. Restaurants, waitressing, boxing groceries... I couldn't do those. Good thing I view many over-$30,000-a-year-jobs less stressful than most minimum wage ones. Of course, being only 19 and unwilling to work in such areas, limits my possibilities.

Well she makes over $30,000 and there is no way another job in that salary range will be less stressful.

Really? Funny... the head janitor in my school makes over $33,000 a year. (Granted MA overspends money like hell) and for a lot of people, a janitor's job could be easy. Even fun. A lot of the kids in my school knew them and it was fun at lunch talking and eating with them.

I think she is looking for another SIT DOWN job for what she makes now.

LOL, we obviously see it differently. You make it sound like salaries are ranked by how stressful a job is. Of course, some 30,000 a year jobs can be more stressful than other 30,000 a year jobs. And some jobs that are stressful for some are not stressful for others, so maybe this female you work with could find something that better suits her, even if it wouldn't be considered less stressful by you. Just out of curiousity, what is she doing now?

Your dad's job has stress he probably just has a way of dealing with it and not getting stressed out. I know a lot is expected of someone who makes $60,000

Then maybe you should recommend stress relievers to your co-worker.
You're right. Every job has at least some level of stress beause something is always expected of you. But there are ways of dealing with stress. Maybe, instead of complaining and wishing for another job, she should be working on stress management. What is she doing to counter stress at this time?

She is currently looking for another job to escape the stress of her current job

McDonald's... or any food service place... is actually EXTREMELY stressful. You have to get everything right and right then when the customer wants it. All orders have to be right.

Not to mention, the managers and supervisers are usually young, which means they're usually a-holes.

I work at an A&W, I know. I'm currently lookin' for a new job, too. Just for the reason that it's way too hectic and ALL my managers are a-holes. :livid:
