Marcel: 我发现当生活压力大时，工作压力似乎变得不那么重要。当生活一团糟时，我根本不在乎工作，但当工作出现问题时，我可能会忽略家庭。过去几年我身兼多职，管理不同的项目，这本身就是一种压力。我意识到，我有时会不自觉地内化工作中的压力，即使在工作环境相对安全的情况下，也会给自己施加压力，害怕失去工作机会。这种压力并非源于工作本身，而是源于对失去工作后可能产生的后果的担忧。我曾经在饼干厂工作，目睹了大量食物被浪费，这让我深刻体会到自己只是资本主义机器中的一个齿轮。在那种环境下，你必须时刻表现得很忙碌，而你的价值似乎仅仅取决于你的生产力。我认为，为了让资本主义更好地运作，我们需要充分休息和健康的人，但现实是，我们似乎只允许在为他人提高生产力的前提下，才能保持健康和满足。 Nora: 我也认同工作压力和生活压力相互影响的观点。我曾经在广告公司工作，那里的工作生活建立在持续的压力和焦虑之上。你随时可能失去客户，失去工作，而且工作与生活之间没有明确的界限。即使在我丈夫接受脑部手术、被诊断出脑癌的艰难时刻，我仍然被要求带着笔记本电脑去医院工作，甚至在得知丈夫病情后，第二天仍然去参加新的业务提案。我当时完全麻木了，没有意识到自己可以拒绝。我也曾对别人施加过同样的压力，我并不为此感到自豪，而且我仍然在努力消除这些心态。我意识到，完美主义并非追求卓越，而是容易发现错误。我从事的都是无关紧要的工作，但仍然承受着巨大的压力。我希望通过分享这些故事，让大家意识到工作压力是普遍存在的，每个人都在努力寻找工作与生活的平衡。

Work is, to most of us, an important part of our lives. We spend something like a third of our lives at work, and even if we’re not working our “dream job” our work gives us a sense of purpose, accomplishment…and – oh, yeah – money to survive. But work – finding it, doing it, losing it – can also be a huge source of stress. This season, we’re exploring what happens when work goes wrong. These are real stories from real people sharing the reality of work, brought to you by Fordham University’s Master of Social Work program.
