Hello Sir,
Many people seem to enjoy this new work from home routine but I find it very difficult.
My name is Sunita, I am 32 and have two young children.
I work for a small company.
Earlier, when we went to office, work ended when we left the office unless there was an emergency. But now, work does not end.
Work output has increased but the boss is not trusting that we are working.
Our salary has been cut so financially too it is difficult.
How do we deal with all this stress? Getting a new job is not easy now.
Thank you for your help.
Sunita
Ans: Hi Sunita.
The best way to manage the stress is to consider yourself fortunate that your organisation has continued with your employment.
I’m sure you understand that the current economic scenario has not yet picked up and the job market is tough.
As far as your manager is concerned, set clear expectations with her/him at the beginning of the week/day.
Send her/him your task list and then an update at the end of the day/week.
Communicate through email so that it is well documented and there is no ambiguity.
You can also do some breathing exercises and ensure your diet is healthy to manage your stress levels.
