someone died AT work today..wtf
This man, who I knew died at work today of a heart attack. The paramedics could not recessitate him, he was DOA.
This is really shocking, especially because it happened in your workplace, and because it's someone you saw on a day to day basis. It's like, the guy seemed healthy enough. The thing is, like most people at the company, he's a total fucking workaholic. Staying until 5:30am or whatever on a HOLIDAY to get stuff done was normal. And that's the thing, I would say most of the people that work for the company ARE encouraged to work fucking insane hours, and I don't know that enough was done in this case to ensure he was leading a healthy life with all the hours he was putting in. In a weird way, maybe I hope this will teach the company to encourage that kind of workaholicness (I know it won't, but maybe it will open their eyes.) I'm still sitting here like..what the fuck?

work can be crazy - when my dad was still working he had obscene hours. he'd work a 10 hour day and come home and do even more work. he was already a heavier man, so when his blood presure rose, we all worried. then due to illness, he went on medical leave. even though he has been going thorugh the stress of a terminal illness, his blood pressure has dropped significantly. he's no longer medicated for it.
this makes me worry about our society. i had a long conversation today actually with one of my teachers about the purpose of our lives when it comes to work and money and school and the extra stresses we take on just to be supposedly more successful. if anything can be taken from this incident its that work should not become your life, and that it takes more than a realization of this, it takes action.

Aww myra... more bad news form work :(
I know with my job I offten work out side of the job/stay late... but its more a passion then trying to get my job done and empress the boss. Its like if you cant handle the stress you cant have the job... so of corse ppl put up wiht it :( I can see how some jobs may require you to work absene crazy long days like say your making a movie or a dr./nurse but then you get mega time off after to make up for it. Soemtimes I can handle 60-80 hours a week, but if its constent and becomes "normal" thats no good and responsible companies/bosses should not alow that! Some of the best workers and products come from Germany. Why? Well their employ's recieve more holiday time comapred to the rest of the world per year.

Yeh i remember i learned in psychology that when you are under large amounts of stress that your body secrets this toxic chemical that makes you not hungrey and is extremely bad for your health.. Stressful people lead very hard lives, its good to learn way to stay calm and collect. Thats why i have decided the corporate life just isn't for me.

Whoa... that's crazy. I've seen three Crashes at work and the people all thankfully survived. Who'd've thought working in an Office would be so hazardous to your health?

Man, the environment is pretty stressful, and stress is a killer just as much as anything.
The last company I worked for, one of the franchise partners who i dealt with DAILY took his own life one day for reasons not related to work, and that was really, really hard. Man, I need out of corporate hell!

I saw a guy get bottled and have his wrist slit on saturday night at work.
These things don't really phase me anymore after one particular incident where the guy ended up looking like hannibal lecter using that officers face as a mask in silence of the lambs. You wan't stress, you wan't violence, you wan't drunk idiots get a job in a club. At anyrate I'm sorry you had to be witness to that, it's never an easy thing to watch.
