You hear a lot of complaints focused on what employees perceive as negative changes. The silent treatment. Instead of joking around at the beginning of meetings, people sit in tense silence. People may slam doors, yell or cry. Accidents may increase, both at work and outside of work.
Workers make mistakes, communicate poorly or are easily distracted.
People may take extra long breaks, come in late or daydream. You may notice an increase in absenteeism. Stress-induced tunnel vision inhibits your ability to make sound decisions. Expect the best from life. It's too easy to focus on what we're not getting.
