Angry people

So, if there’s science behind the idea that angry/negative people can be bad for your brain, does working on a helpdesk constitute a mental health risk? 😉

I’m kidding, but there is something rather serious to think about. If you can’t learn to not take things personally and let things roll off your back so to speak, I don’t think you can last in a tech support type of position very long. Know yourself before you start down that path.
