How do you define workplace stress?

PS: This is only a scenario...half truth, half fiction.

Will you be stressed at work when:

1) You have nothing to do? slack around the whole day...

2) You have too many things to do? everyone's chasing you and you can't concentrate. You still have to bring homework during weekends.

3) You have annoying colleagues? you just want to shut them up.

4) You have colleagues who don't give a damn care about you?

5) You have colleagues who care too much?

6) You have no close friends at work?

7) You have micro-managing boss?

8) You have super-demanding boss?

9) You feel like you accomplish nothing significant and just be another person in the company?

10) They decided to cut your salary by 5-10% due to the global crisis? If you don't plan to make your own business, just go look for any job and lower your salary expectation. We will have to live with this for the next 12 mths *been hearing the same news everyday, kinda sick of it:S

11) You have to travel 2-3 hrs to and from your workplace each day?

12) You feel like you've shown no progress and ready to receive pink slip any time soon?

13) You feel like you earn too much or too little for the amount of work you've done?

14) You feel like the invinsible ceiling limits the amount of $$$ that you can earn? (when you think you can do more and deserve to earn more)

15) You see no future staying in the same company for more than 3 years?

16) You think climbing corporate ladder is a waste of time?

17) You are struggling to shine and show that you are a capable person?

18) You are struggling to build self-confidence and courage to express valid opinion/suggestion based on experience?

19) You've done nothing special that is worth-adding to your latest resume?

20) You dislike the boring routines and tired of pretending to be interested in what you're doing?

Eventually, money alone is not the only thing that matters. But will work satisfaction be in #1 place for most people in this gloomy economy?

Not any time soon...

How about you? How do you define workplace stress?
