Stress-Relieving Wisdom
The Perspective of Time
„In six months, we’ll laugh about this together.“ Viewing your problem with the perspective of time helps you realize that many current issues will soon be forgotten.
„Rome wasn’t built in a day.“ A reminder that even big tasks take time. You don’t have to accomplish everything at once.
„Tomorrow is a new day.“ Each day brings new possibilities and opportunities. What didn’t work today might be different tomorrow.
Don’t Panic
„There’s no point in doing anything under pressure.“ Working under stress often doesn’t lead to good results. It’s better to slow down and work more efficiently.
„Stay calm and keep warm.“ It’s crucial to remain calm and do not panic.
„It’s not a matter of life and death.“ Many problems aren’t as serious as they initially seem. Relax, take it easy.
Embrace Humanity
„We’re doing our best; we’re only human!“ We are only human and cannot always achieve perfection. It’s okay to make mistakes.
„Its human to make mistakes.“ Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them and move on.
„We are not robots.“ Our capacities are not unlimited. Be kind to yourself.
Simplifying the Situation
„There’s no need to make a big deal out of it.“ Sometimes we unnecessarily complicate situations. Focus on simple and practical solutions.
„Don’t stress, it’s not worth it.“ Stressing over little things doesn’t lead to anything good. Try to handle the situation with a calm mind.
„There’s no need for drama; this isn’t a reality show.“ Everyday problems aren’t a script for a dramatic movie. Approach them with thoughtfulness.
Humor and Perspective
„Work doesn’t have legs; it won’t run away.“ Work can wait. Don’t rush and take a break if you need to.
„Better than being in prison.“ Even if the situation is bad, it could always be worse. Reminding yourself of this can help you see things from a better perspective.
„It’s not on fire, is it?“ Many problems aren’t urgent. A calm approach often leads to better results.
Family and Health
„Family first.“ Your health and family relationships are more important than any work task.
„I don’t want to risk a heart attack.“ Long-term stress can have serious health consequences. Take care of your health.

Processing of personal data
Controller processes in particular the personal data
of its own employees and also the personal data of the candidates, to the extent necessary to
fulfill contractual and legal obligations.
Rights of data subjects
Data subjects have the following rights to process their
personal data:
- the right to information on the processing of his or her personal data, in particular where this Directive does not already apply (categories of personal data processed, processing purposes, recipients, etc.);
- the right to correct inaccurate or complete incomplete personal data - but this does not affect the Company's right to retain so-called historical data, ie outdated data to the extent necessary (eg for tax or social security controls);
- the right to delete (delete) personal data in specified cases, eg on the grounds that personal data are no longer needed for processing, or the data subject withdraws consent to the processing, and there is no further legal title, or processing is contrary to legal modification or deletion is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation. The Company does not have to comply with the data subject's requests if the further processing is necessary, for example, to fulfill a statutory obligation or the exercise of legal claims;
- the right to restrict the processing of personal data (ie, in principle, the Company only retains and otherwise does not process personal data) in specified cases, ie on the grounds that they have been processed in breach of law, or where the data subject inaccuracies or if the Company does not need it, but the data subject requests it, or if the data subject has objected to the processing (until it is verified that the Company's legitimate reasons for processing outweigh the rights of the data subjects). In spite of a request by the data subject for processing restrictions, the company may process personal data, for example, for the purpose of claiming legal rights or for protecting the rights of another person;
- the right to the transferability of personal data, that is, to obtain its personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to its ransmission to another data controller - this right concerns the personal data provided by the Company data subject and which the Company processes automated by his consent or for the purpose of performing the contract;
- (the right not to be subject to automated individual decision-making with legal or equivalent effects - that is to say, the right not to be the subject of a decision with those effects without the participation of a human factor, except in defined cases;
- where processing of personal data is based on the consent of the data subject, the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without prejudice to the lawfulness of earlier processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent;
- If it considers that the processing of its personal data is inconsistent with the law, it has the right to file a complaint with the Supervisory Authority, eg within the Czech Republic - the Office for the Protection of Personal Data (without prejudice to other means of protection).
In case the Company processes personal data due to its legitimate interests (eg direct marketing, camera operation), the data subject has the right to object to such processing. The Company does not process personal data until it has proven that there are serious legitimate reasons for processing that outweigh the interests or rights of the data subject.
Any corrections or deletions of personal data or restrictions on processing performed in accordance with legal regulations shall be communicated by the Company to all entities to whom the personal data concerned have been made available, unless this proves to be impossible or requires unreasonable effort.
All rights of the data subject or other information related to the protection of personal data can be handled by the Company's Legal Executive:
