Whether we like it or not, stress is a part of our daily life. Of course, this pressure doesn’t become much of an issue for some people while, for others, it can have some very negative effects on their life. Anyway, with or without negative effects, I also have to deal with stressful days at work, and today I would like to talk about one such day.
The day started perfectly well as I woke up at the right time in that morning like every other day and arrived at the office also just on time. But as soon as I started to work on my scheduled task list, I found out that my email was not working. But, I needed to open my emails badly because there were some important files and documents which I needed to download to prepare an urgent sales audit report for our corporate head office. After trying a while, I gave up to open my email and straight headed to the room of our IT guy, only to find out that the IT guy had called sick and that he wouldn’t come to the office for the whole day.
While waiting nervously, my Managing Director suddenly asked me to see him in his room, and I immediately knew that something was wrong. In fact, he reprimanded me because my junior product manager, working under my supervision, had sent the wrong product to one of our clients, and the client had informed my MD about the mistake. My boss also told me that I, as a senior manager, was also responsible for the mistake. Later on, I just kept wishing that the day would just pass by as soon as possible with no more stress to deal with.
Anyway, it was a stressful day for me because I was not able to do my works the way I was supposed to do. Besides, I was also lagging behind the schedules for the other important tasks. It was stressful even more also because I couldn’t actually find anybody to help me out to get the job done properly.
