Bragging about how stressed you are at work will only paint you in a bad light, a study has shown

Scientists conducted an initial survey with 360 participants, who rated imaginary co-workers based on their statements after returning from a conference. The results were telling: colleagues who framed the conference as an additional stressor on their already overloaded schedules were seen as less competent and less likeable. Moreover, participants indicated they would be less willing to assist these stress-bragging co-workers.
