Root824772yThink about how much I hate my coworkers. That’s usually step #1 of everything I do at work.
If it’s something I can do something about:
• Stimulants.
• Do/fix/improve/finish whatever it is.
• Let others know (and get ignored).
• Leave a paper trail showing I did it.
• Worry they’ll be angry anyway.
If I can’t, or (most likely) if there’s drama:
• Do something to calm down, like tea, Netflix, job searching, talking to family.
• Think more about how much I hate my coworkers.
• Rant (to family or here).
• Alcohol.
• Repeat the above until I stop caring.

sariel85872y@Root you would be my best friend at work.
To answer the question. It changes depending on what's bothering me.
Lack of leadership or outright chaos at work? I play Minecraft. I have a farm that I'm building, it's therapeutic because there's nothing else I need to worry about. Dig, water, plant, harvest, repeat.
Feel dismissed and underutilized? I have a couple personal projects I work on. One is a home OS I'm developing that is cloudless and completely decentralized within the house.
There's a handful of other coping mechanisms I use, but you probably get the gist. -
EddieBro1212yUsually get stressed more.
Meanwhile probably listen to intense music.
If not music, then it might be random talking to myself.
And at some point, toilet break for a small relax. -
I can't work under stress, especially the stress of being watched. And if I don't find it beneficial to report stress points, I don't do shit. Since then, I only do WFH for a living.
-
I rationalize by diverting that stress on how the world is ending anyway. Then it's easy to relax since none of that shit matters anyway. YOLOOOOOO!

either kick into overdrive (which lasts at maximum 6 hours) and then shut down, or shut down right away.
to cope with the stress in my off-time, alcohol, weed, tv shows, videos, and games. which is basically the same as my normal off-time. -
Depending on the stress level. If the stress is medium , I cook food. But if my stress is not torelatable, I will cook the person who caused this stress together with my food. 🔥👍

@glemiere That's funny. You look forward and I look back. Can you name 3 people who lived between 1700-1800? Nothing I do will ever matter in a 100 years.
Hey Devs!
What do you do when you get stressed while working? 🤯
