Workplace stress is the harmful physical and emotional response that occurs when there is a poor match between job demands and the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker. Stress-related disorders encompass a broad array of conditions, including psychological disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder) and other types of emotional strain (e.g., dissatisfaction, fatigue, tension, etc.), maladaptive behaviors (e.g., aggression, substance abuse), and cognitive impairment (e.g., concentration and memory problems). In turn, these conditions may lead to poor work performance or even injury. Job stress is also associated with various biological reactions that may lead ultimately to compromised health, such as cardiovascular disease, or in extreme cases, death. PrevalenceStress is a prevalent and costly problem in today's workplace. About one-third of workers report high levels of stress. One-quarter of employees view their jobs as the number one stressor in their lives. Three-quarters of employees believe the worker has more on-the-job stress than a generation ago. Evidence also suggests that stress is the major cause of turnover in organizations. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I've been working for a very large government contractor on a military installation for almost four years now. I work in an office environment with many conflicting personalities. The problem with this is that when problems arise, there really is nowhere to go. Nepotism runs very deep in this company. I would say that about 20% of the 300 employees are related in some way. And most importantly, almost all of the upper dozen management are related! Although we are all in the Teamster's Union, the union will not give it there all because I've been told, "Don't rock the boat" as well as, "You know how things work around here, with this family".
