Being criticized at work is stressful. One way to manage this stress is to remember that despite their criticism, they are happy individuals who love their workplace and coworkers. Don't take it personally. Sometimes the criticism can become personal and abusive. Just try to breathe in and out to relieve the stress when that happens. Make sure you're getting plenty of sleep each night because sleep deprivation can make it emotionally harder to deal with the stress when it happens at work. Remember that coworkers are basically a second family! In fact, Tom Collins wrote a book called, "The Workplace Family." Sometimes your biological family can say mean things here and there even if they're one of the greatest families. Workplace families are like that. Just remember that despite those uncommon occurences, they still love you.

Stress is so common in workplaces and it is brought about by so many things. One of them is having too much work to do. When the work load is heavy, you go home stressed.

Another reason is if you are not in good terms with your supervisor, colleagues or a customer. Especially if you engage in a quarrel or physical altercation.

There are so many causes of workplace stress, sometime work pressure increases too much. Sometime we face daily late hours sitting problem without getting overtime money. I personally face these types of stresses too much as I used to work in a private organization where M.D was sitting with their workers on daily basis he used to discuss common problems with them. In companies there are different post people are working where filters remain active but we all can understand the pressure of M.D without any filter so we started remain in stress almost all the time. As he was also firing workers when they were giving him some wrong answers of the questions. After 3 years finally I decided to give resign from there and then I started my own business.

You have actually said it all, another thing that could cause stress in a work place could also be the use of worn out or outdated materials. In a situation where you have to battle and fight all the time with the equipment at the office before you can actually do anything meaningful can be very annoying and frustrating. There would be times where you may not even feel like working again simply cause you know you would have to go and deal with does things. This could also lead to delay in productivity therefore creating unsatisfied customers that would not care to understand what you are going through.
