  1. All jobs should be working you own space wood wall area it's lot bad employe racism jelose ewery day ewery job if employe work no reason to cause

  2. Everyone is replaceable in this world. Evidently even more so in the corporate world. With this kind of mentality and value prevalent everywhere in life people are so tensed and stressed all the time. Over time it will take a toll on employees mental health. We can write and demand all we want in life but by now all the power is in the companies hands and nothing can be done anymore. We have made them to powerful to topple them by now. You falter you will be out of the game.

    Just work and don't give in to your fear and their fear instilling teachings. You will last longer this way. They want you to be afraid. Don't fall for it.

  6. Workplace?

    Do you know what kind of mental problem South Koreans and Japanese are facing?
    Shallow, the Great Asia is talking about the mental problem of the entire population of a countries.
    Singapore is getting there soon.
    Ha ha ha!

  7. Emloyees mental wellbeing should be the focus point of HR in every organisation on how to tackle it and this dept needs to do more than just hiring and firing

  8. Tbh having flexible work is the most important to most . When I’m at home I don’t feel stressed , workin in office I feel drained and stressed from
    Having people constantly around

  9. It makes me so sad these workplace issues just seem to be getting worse, globally. I’ve also shared my own burnout story on my channel. I really hope things will change for the future, especially for our youth 😢

  10. All that is reported here does not work at all. Increasing productivity will likely increases competition, competition leads to one dehumanizing one another ending up greater depression. One's well to do is equivalent to another's suffering. Only if the world is a paradise, else forget eliminating depression completely.

  11. Stress in the workplace, economy competitiveness is not anything new, in fact this culture have already existed many generations. Our parent's generation are much able to cope with the situation. Even to this day older generations have the lowest mental health rate compare to the younger generations.

    There are other deeper underlying reason than just this . We need to be careful not to create a mollycoddle culture.
