Do you have a “stress bragger” at the office? When people brag about how much stress they are under, they do it because they think it makes them look better to coworkers and others. But actually, stress bragging only makes braggarts seem less competent and less likeable, a study finds. Worse, stress bragging makes the braggart’s colleagues
and those around them feel more stressed and burnt out.
