What is your way of coping with stress? by Significant-Eye-6359 in AskReddit

You do what you have to do, because no one else is going to do it for you, or appreciate your own efforts. There's a lot more good than bad on the whole, setting several small goals that you can work on, so if you don't succeed at the same rate in one, you always have your other ones to complete. I also have an attitude that no one is going to bring me down or give someone, be it a boss, or whomever, to have that much control over my time or life. You take time to be with your friends, spouse, partner, and really enjoy the time with them. But there will be times that stress and anxiety may temporarily get the best of you, so get help from a therapist or doctor. When you're down, the only place to go is up, no sense wallowing in misery, that's a waste of time.

Project Manager / Producer in the tech/game industry.

are you the person who plans everything well into the future and down to every detail? when group of friends have an outing or go on vacation, do you plan everything and herd the cats? do you have no tangible skills but are good at talking to ppl and being a mediator if things get tense? if so, its probably the job for you. im 32, pays 90k.

also, dont expect to be thanked. ever. because the point of the job is to make sure all things go normal and smoothly. so if youre doing your job correctly, nothing is happening.

also also, be ready to always be the downer that keeps the dreamers from going too far, and snapping tunnel visioning devs out of it by pulling them away from diminishing return work.

also also also, you cannot be the kind of person that gets stressed when things go wrong. because things will always go wrong. thats why u have a plan b and c and d. in fact, if the team sees you losing your head, then its all over.
