Do You Like Working Under Pressure (lemmy.world)

my real question is do you like the pressure in Neuronation (a game). On some test you know can solve it if not restricted by time.

I broadening it up, to see more opinion like in the job market nowadays asking for able to work under pressure.

So.. for me in the context of Neuronation (and maybe in the real job) I do.. not like it but force myself to do it, let it go if i fail, and play next test. im quite old btw, and i don't think can pass the Neuronation test that quick even im young

I don’t even like working.

I find a little bit of work pressure keeps me in a higher state of awareness/interest. Day goes by much quicker too.

I do best at 1 Atm.

Yeah, I do. I'm really lazy and need some pressure to get going. It also gives me this nice kind of thrill and clarity. I also really enjoyed doing exams and tests in school and at uni.

That being said, I don't think I could deal with a constant pressure. Every now and then is nice to get this thrill and to get validation when doing well. But under constant pressure I would burn out quicker than a barn doused in gasoline.

Yes, but I'm lazy as shit and often need pressure to do anything beyond scrolling through Lemmy. 😉

there was a similar question/joke related to Logic (the rapper): Can you preform Under Pressure? No, but i'm pretty good at Gang Related.

Da-da-da, mm-mm Da-da-da-ba-bum Okay

A little pressure is great. Too little and I become unorganized and perfectionistic. Too much and I become very unfriendly to my coworkers and constantly make mistakes.

[–] vortexal@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

No, not at all. I'm already the type of person who gets extreme anxiety whenever someone expects anything thing from me. Adding a time limit just makes things worse.

I didn't mind at all. It's usually the people who expect a different outcome that don't like me working under pressure.
