I’m a software developer trying to better understand the causes of anxiety in the workplace. It's research for a side project.
I've been talking to different people (engineers and product managers mostly) and it's been fascinating.
So much of the anxiety people experience is hidden or unknown. Just talking about it openly has been helpful. For example, being asked for status updates on dev tasks throughout the day makes me anxious. I didn't realize this was a trigger until I spent time thinking about why these seemingly benign questions bother me so much.
I put together this three question anonymous survey so I can learn from the community. I'd love to hear from you.
