Q18. Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of these. When you are feeling overwhelmed at work, it is important to find out why you feel that way. Do you have too many responsibilities, or feel there are too few hours in the day? Is your boss piling on the pressure? Or is the company culture getting you down? Feeling overwhelmed is actually a stress response when we feel the demand on us outweighs our resources. Feeling out of control and under pressure is a form of emotional overloading and can also trigger the release of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Keeping a journal of thoughts, feelings and actions can help you identify what causes this reaction. Once we understand what triggers the stress, we can perhaps understand why that is and we can build strategies around those things.If your workload is unmanageable, it’s a good idea to speak to your boss. This can be a daunting prospect, but making a plan before your discussion will help. Revisit your job description before the meeting. Explain to your boss the tasks you are involved in, how long they take, the resources they require, why you find them challenging, and practical suggestions for a solution. Try to control your emotions in the meeting, remain calm and professional. Focus on concerns about quality to demonstrate you are still committed to doing a good job. It is not a sign of weakness, asking for help, and your manager may not realise how much work you have on. Learn to say no as it is must to survive and have a stress free work life. Often people who say yes to everything have this instilled in them in childhood because they think if they do not obey rules they will be rejected. In a working environment, people might think they are lucky to have a job, so it is best to keep their head down and not fuss. Challenging this type of work programming can take some time, but it can be done.If your boss is professional, you should get a positive reaction when raising the issue. The situation may be because of a temporary factor you are unaware of, and they may be able to help in some way. This is an ideal scenario, but unfortunately not always the case. If a bad boss is putting extra work on you without caring, then that’s a more difficult situation. In these circumstances, it is worth speaking to a trade union or employee representative and look into the company’s grievance procedure. According to the author, what kind of work programming needs to be changed as mentioned in the passage?
It is mentioned in the passage “Often people who say yes to everything have this instilled in them in childhood because they think if they do not obey rules they will be rejected.
