1- lack of work / life balance.

2- extreme workload all the time not on intervals

3- Bad relation with managers

4- Managers who exercise any of the following: micromanagement - dictatorship - unfair  performance evaluation - creating tension and stress around the office by being angry all the time - no appreciation or rewards policy - lack of motivational strategy.

5- Feeling insecure ... like suspecting layoffs or company bad financial situation

I would stress some of the most typical job-stressors: 

  • unrealistic deadlines and expectations, often as a result of super achievement by the most talented
  • lack of control over aspects of the job
  • aggressive management style
  • manager forever finding fault
  • excessive travel time
  • dull and repetitive work

And poor rewards
