JOB PROMOTION IS BAD FOR HEALTH

Recent study by researcher (economics and psychology faculty, University Warwick) in London confirmed that job promotion can harm your health and leave you substantially less time to visit the doctor.

The researcher found that job promotion produces 10 per cent more MENTAL STRAIN and leaves up to 20 per cent less time to visit the doctor in the event of illness.

Researcher Chris Boyce said: “Getting a Job Promotion at work is not as great as many people think. Our researcher finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion. There are no indications of any health improvements for promoted people,” he said. – AFP

That being the case, it is better to get pay raise rather than Job promotion. There are cases whereby a person suddenly died after getting promoted. No doubt some may get through the process of mental strain and live to tell other about their experience. Our body and mind are some time vulnerable and susceptible to stress and it is our self that need to learn, manage and cope with the never ending stressful working environment after a job promotion.
