How stressful is your job?
If you could rank the stress level of your job from 1-10, 10 being the most stressful, what number would you give yours and why?
My job is not that stressful at all. I would give it a 3. The only time it gets a little annoying is when I have 3 lines ringing at the same time. Other than that it's easy, and stress free.

The stress level goes from about 2 to about 38.

Sucks to be me...
I am a Ph.D. Molecular Geneticist in Hypertension Research. I am a 100 in terms of stress. I am working on mindfulness meditation, eating right, and slowly becoming a painkiller-alcoholic. No really, I am seriously reconsidering my position because my health is affected now.

Mine is a...2...then again, I'm working at Wal Mart full time, while going to school full time, while doing...everything else. Only reason it's a 2 is because if I mess up and lose my job, then, I have 1 month before I can't pay rent.

Depends on the season. If it is program evaluation month, the stress level climbs up to around 8. Otherwise it is around a 5 or 6. Of course, rough customers can bring it up to 10.

well for my day job as an accts payable administrator (or whatever BS title they give me) it goes from like a 2- 8 or so... Most of the time, its stress free, but sometimes, when dealing with vendors or having to investigate payments, fees or dealing with any of our leases... it definately gets to me.... besides I hate what I do... so that doesn't help...
as a waitress? it goes from a 2-10 some nights. With a few tables, its easy, relaxed, etc... but if i can't get in the zone.... definately a 10.. then i'm running around like an idiot.

In the rare week (twice a year at fourth of july and then christmas) it's around a 3-4, the rest of time its at least a 9-10.
A variety of what I do...
Some days I travel across the state... talking spending 8 hours or so some days in the car and in the same day holding hearings/public meetings on cases where people will ask you tough questions, scream, yell, etc.
When I am in the office I spend all day tracking cases, filing new projects, holding conference calls, meetings, etc. and this is for about 60-70 large scale development projects in various stages.
They keep saying they are going to hire someone else to help since my boss moved out of her position and left me training a new girl to help. But I have yet to see the help. This is on top of having to do research for other projects as well. I am lucky if I have any life outside of work right now... all I do is eat, sleep, think about work.
Honestly it is not worth it to me anymore and I thinking about finding something else even if it pays less....

My job is normally a 5, unless someone is getting let go- then it is a 20. I hate sitting in a room watching someone get fired.
Recently I would say my job is an 8, but only because I am trying to do the normal stuff, plus get everything in order for my maternity leave. Oh and annual reviews and open insurance enrollment are also pretty stressful times (those are usually 10s).

Anytime near deadline: 15

Any other time, I'd say a good 7.

A group of us (meaning scientists with Ph.D.'s and some with M.D.'s) found out my boss is on Provigil--it is non-habitforming non-amphetamine...
So, that's why he's acting crazy...
I tell you... A few of us need to get certificates in psychotherapy in Biotech to help crazy Principal Investigators.
