REAL TALK
• Levels of depression and anxiety among people who are unhappy at work were the same or greater than those who were unemployed.
• Stress and anxiety at work have less to do with the work we do and more with weak management and leadership.
• People who don’t feel recognized for their effort at work were more likely to suffer from heart disease.
• Toxic energy leads to lack of productivity.
