I never got that.

If I read on a CV "I work well under stress" all I understand is that you think lying is a natural part of working and/or that you are signaling that you expect and are consenting to be abused.

I mean I've never put it in my resume and I work better in a healthy environment, but under stressful and chaotic circumstances I perform much much better than most.

My secret: I'm always super anxious, you can throw all the chaos you want my way and it'll barely move the stress-o-meter needle a bit.

That's cool but you can't express it as "I work well under stress" because in these day and age tons of people write that no matter what. It doesn't say what you think it says.

As I said I never put it in my cv, because I know what it implies. In my country we have a similar thing with English proficiency, everyone would put 'mid level English' which actually means 'barely able to order at a restaurant while pointing to things with your finger'.

"Yeah man, I'm fluent, says so on my CV!"

"But it just says 'Fluent'. Fluent in what?"

"What do you got?"

I think that lying 100% is part of any job today (if not you, your company) and you won't get hired unless you give them authority to violate your rights.

Lying is 100% part of a very normal and healthy diverse society. What I find perplexing is the desire to put it out there in such an explicit way.

But Imagine if it was possible, They would be the greatest Employee the world has ever known, and everyone would have to maintain that impossible standard, wouldn’t that be great? One day someone will evolve the gene needed to work 24/7 under Excessive Stress, and the world will get along in Stress and Productivity,☮️
