The study also found that there are differences between women and men in what triggers stress at work.
While factors such as insufficient recognition, competitive behavior, time pressure and striving for a career play a role for men, it is above all the double burden of work and family that causes stress for women.

For better or for worse, you have to have a certain stress tolerance in every job.
In some professions it is almost normal to be constantly under pressure.
An investment banker who is under enormous pressure to perform, hardly has a weekend off and has to work well over 40 hours a week is not to be envied.
Even if the job is one of many that can make you a millionaire.

What happens to our body when we are stressed?
Stress is a physical and emotional response to a challenge or burden that is perceived as a threat or challenge.
Stress can be triggered by various factors, such as pressure to perform, lack of time, conflict, change, illness or loss.
When the body responds to stress, it releases hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which increase heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing.
In the short term, stress can help the body focus on a situation and act faster.
However, when stress becomes chronic, it can have negative effects on physical and mental health, including anxiety, depression, heart disease, and other health problems.
