You touch on this point when you say "Believing that when you ask for something at work, or share your point of view, you will be listened to." If you know that others, especially your superiors, value what you do and respect you for that, then I'm OK with work.. Best, Bob Hi Christine,

Your comment reminds me that part of the challenge of stress is that we adapt to it and don't realise how stressed we are and how badly it's affecting us until we're really in the thick of it. So having review mechanism is a brilliant way to help stay on top of things. Hadn’t considered that one, Scot.

Much better to set up a consistent review of your work life (monthly or quarterly, for example) so that you can catch bad things happening early when they are easier to correct. Or noting when they started and then setting a deadline for when they need to get better or it is time to look for a different job. Time flies and all of a sudden you look up and you are totally stressed out. Then you have to go through hoops trying to figure it all out. Catch this stuff early.

How exciting that you're starting a new job and that you've taken so much positively from a tough experience! I often find that being in difficult situations often, paradoxically, allow us to get really clear about what we do want and value. Well done you for sticking it out and getting something that's better for you! :) Christine Hey, Jen

I have had a hard year in my job and have just been offered a new job that I'm really looking forward to (starting just before Christmas) which is great. I have come across challenges and feelings I had never experienced before in the job I am leaving and now as I leave am reflecting on what I have learnt.... I know have learnt a lot from it and am clearer what I want from a job...it has brought into focus what I really value. Jen Hey Christine :)
