Toxic Jobs Secretly Shorten Life and Stifle Health
The top 10 invisible consequences of working at a toxic company: 1. Shortens your life. Workplace psychological issues shorten lifespan by up to 3 years. 2. Destroys your sleep. 76% of employees report work-related stress negatively impacts their sleep. 3. Weakens your immune system. Chronic workplace stress suppresses immune function. People in toxic jobs get sick more often and recover slower. 4. Erodes your self trust. Toxic work environments train you to second-guess yourself, people please, and stop trusting your own judgement. 5. Follows you home. People experiencing high levels of stress at work carry that home, leading to strained relationships with family and friends. 6. Drives unhealthy coping. Toxic work environments increase risks of turning to unhealthy coping behaviors like smoking, drinking, and overusing medication. 7. Kills creativity. Fear of judgement from unsafe work environments is a top factor that reduces creativity and innovation. 8. Lowers productivity. 43% employees in toxic work environments spend more time trying to look productive than actually producing meaningful outputs. 9. Causes anxiety and/or depression. 87% of people who experienced a toxic work environment said it negatively impacted their mental health. 10. Damages your heart. Workplace stress increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by 1.6X and risk of heart attacks by 2X. __ The signs are pretty clear - working in a toxic work environment is similar to continuously infecting yourself with an invisible disease. #culture #life #work
