The idea
Stress is the process by which a person appraises and responds to events they judge to exceed their resources.
In practice
The same workload is stressful to one employee and unremarkable to another with different resources.
Where people slip
Stress is not the event. It is the relationship between the demand and the person's capacity to meet it.
