you just mashed together the two phrases in an attempt to come up with a new meaning, but it falls short.

handling stress = managing emotions = maintaining emotions in a stress-test

Yea that post didn't come out well. Either way it's not hard to see that I was trying to convey that any company that's going to put me through the wringer to see when I break down isn't worth my time or frustration. Be upfront about what you want or stop wasting my time and energy. It's like the scene at the end of Charlie and Chocolate Factory - or this video[1].
