Have you experience a stressful job?

Tweet

Since college graduation, I was able to work three different kinds of job. The first one I was the chief of staff in a government office. The second job I was in charge to liquidate funds borrowed by a certain organization from a national agency. The last job was a call center representative. Of these three jobs, it is the last one - my call center experience that is stressful. When I was the chief of staff, even if I had lots of work such as but not limited to drafting communications, making speeches for the boss, attending meetings and seminars, lobbying to legislative body, entertaining visitors while the boss is out, doing my boss non - office related matters, even making impossible possible, and then going to school at night I never got stressed out. In my second job which makes me do stuff I am totally a stranger since the job is for an accountant or any business related graduate, I was not also stressed out. The last job I had, I quit because I was really stressed out and it threatened my health condition. Before I had such job, my friends told me call center job is stressful. I didn't listen because I was thinking why it would be stressful when all I need to do is to sit, answer the call, and document it. When I had the job, I realized then that it is stressful. I believe, what makes it stressful is it is a work at night plus always talking and thinking for solutions to customers problem. How about you guys? Have you experienced a stressful job or work? Maybe by sharing it you can release some of the stressed you feel right now.
