Journal Club
A few years ago, I made one of those pros and cons lists, weighing up whether I should stay in my tedious but stressful job, or whether I should leave and do something more interesting. The worst thing on the “leave” list was “might have to come back with my tail between my legs asking for my old job back, if nothing else works out.” In contrast, the worst thing on the “what happens if I stay” list was “may have a stroke as I’m so stressed.”
This is from one of our columnists in New Escapologist Issue 18.
Michael C is an academic who wades into the real research on our fanciful-sounding Escapological claims.
In the latest instalment of his Journal Club column, he asks if workplace stress is really bad for your health.
Hint: it is.
But the short and fascinating journey Michael takes us on is a fun one.
