Stress Resistance Ability Test

This post is also available in: Russian, Armenian

Have you ever experienced dealing with a very strict manager, have you ever taken offense from him? What do you think, where is the line between the necessary strictness and peremptory tone in business communication with the manager?

We would like to talk a bit on this topic.

Often during the job interview people are asked whether they can resist a stress. What does the employer mean with this: that the employee will be able to cope with large amount of work, that can make a decision in complex non-standard situations, or that he can work with an employer who considers quite the norm insulting his employees as a form of education?

In our opinion it is more correct to speak not of stress resistance, but the willingness to work with such a manager. We do not doubt that there are people who have a strong willed character, clearly know what to seek in a career, in general, of course, are stress resistant, ready to accept any constructive criticism, even raising tones, willing to work in constant pressure from management, with a constant focus on results, for increasing sales, for example; but these people can have a right not to take offense to their personal address, that will just interfere with their normal accomplishment, perception of communication and alignment of business relations, and of course just respecting themselves.

We agree with this point of view, but what you say?
