How do you balance stress in J1 to peace in J2? As an example: you have been putting your heart & soul into a project for J1 & the day before delivery, one of the chuckleheads on the team makes some coding changes. This changes the outcome & makes the chucklehead look like they actually contributed. Do you lose it or brush it off?

You are an individual contributor for J2 and take the credit or fault for each project delivered. Life is good.

How do you keep emotions out of it?

Brush it off. The goal of being overemployed is to just be mediocre in each job to stay employed not be the best

Thank you for this advice! My parents instilled a work ethic and a sense of pride in my work, which is very hard to let go. It's definitely a work in progress.

I brush it off every single time. I have learned that stress really takes a toll on my health and I just can't afford to lose it even though I would sometimes like to. I would honestly take a deep breath and let it go. I also wouldn't take credit for someone else's mistakes.

This is a really great response! We have choices with what we can control and whether stress will be part of it.

I don't think I could look at myself if I took credit for someone else's work.
