The stress of dealing with various people inside an office as well as the pressure of complying with a furious manager's demands also create a negative chain reaction that affects both work outputs and one's personal life.
According to The Cheat Sheet, if there's a way to refrain from such work dilemmas, it is only by deleting the source of all the stress and quitting from your stressful job. But what about the profit?
Self-employment is one of the proposed solutions of how to perfectly restrain from inhibiting stress of working with others without sacrificing your financial needs.
