How come office workers who work in cubicles risk of becoming "mentally ill"
and hospital workers have a risk of getting cancer or other diseases
And if you're a secretary or an assistant, you feel "mentally abused"
Or if you work at a night club, you have a risk of getting lung cancer or risk of getting hearing impaired
Or if you work as a garbage man, you smell toxins on a daily basis
Or if you're a fireman you can die from smoke inhalation
and I can go on......
Do you know what I'm talking about?

And the stress by itself and also being around negative people on a daily basis can affect your health.

I have worked in several "sick" buildings, where the atmosphere was just gross and everyone was sick all the time and I kept getting brochitis. On top of this, for about 10-12 years, I had to travel several times each month, so I was also constantly sick due to being trapped on freezing crowded airplanes with people's demon-spawn germ-laden children. THIS is a health risk! Speaking of icky people, commuting via puplic transportation, with people constantly sniffling and hacking at you can also make you sick. People are gross!

Mine can be. I sometimes have to go into the patients' rooms to get their menus, but we have a lot of precautions, like sanitizing hand gel.
My biggest risk is from having an "episode" when the work piles up at the end of the day.

Yes
People lose their eyesight from looking at monitors all day.
Some get Tunnel Carpal syndrome from typing all day.
Others get Lung problems from the Mines.
I went bonkers listening to all of the problems of my co- workers.
Just think of all those Postal Workers.
They even got a phrase named after them.
Have a nice day !

The only risk is allowing it to get to you, jumping off the edge or forgetting to take your Prozac.
I work in a hospital, cancer is not contagious, only kindness and compassion are.
