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.

BrandonS · 07-18-2003, 09:01 PM

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.

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?
