Good question. I think the stress would remain the same. I think this co-worker is under some of the same stress as me, and has a lot of personal stress at home, but she is taking it out on me. Nobody is happy in that office. Management harps on us as if we are lazy worthless dirt. Everyday seems to be a new soap opera in the office. I am turning into a conspiracy theorist but I am not the only one. It seems as if the top management wants to turn the workers against each other and they are succeeding.
