Tips on how to deal in a High-Stress Environment

‎06-28-2013 10:13 PM

Hello everyone. I haven't posted in a while because I am so very busy. Without going into much detail I work in a very high-stress enviroment where I deal with 5k people a day. Not alllllll of them but they all go through where I work. I have to stand the entire time and often have to stand outside (in the NYC heat and pollution). I have to admit it is getting to me and a very ugly part of my character is emerging. I've worked with small children, I've worked with mentally retarded and disabled people but it doesn't compare to this. It doesn't help that half of these people don't speak English and 2/3 of them don't have manners. My manager and my supervisors love me and I often get compliments from the people I deal with on how well I do my job and all that helps. However, this is becoming soooooo very difficult on my psyche. Any advice?

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
