And will employers take up their responsibility? No, they won’t, it’s the fault of employees and politicians.
And will politicians and labor economists look at employers? No, it’s the wider system obviously.
Lots of responsibility lies with companies and managers that do not appreciate their workers, make meaningful changes to the workplace to make it more functional, pile up work on already overworked workers.
Stop promoting dickheads to manager positions and reorganize the workplaces to make it more humane friendly. Reorganizing the workplace might cost a bit, but high turnover rates in highly burned-out occupations like nursing costs wayyyy more.
And don’t blame it on capitalism, that’s the easy way out (looking at you PVDA politicians). Having a dickhead for boss is likely under every system, we need more accountability on the workfloor.
Working for a shitty pay. Never being aknowledged for things you do. Takes a toll.
>The strong increase in the services sector and education is striking. The service sector, traditionally a category with many VDU workers, saw 40 percent more physical complaints. There was also an increase of 64 percent in education in 5 years. In addition, 7.5 percent of employees suffered from psychological complaints last year. Over the past 5 years, that number has increased by 80 percent.
People’s well being, that important aspect that it is often forgotten while measuring a country’s situation almost only by its economic growth. It seems that government and companies should tackle this in a better way, to reduce accidents and harmful working environments.
If COVID has taught us anything is how futile working from office is and highlighted how pointless some of our work is. So I am absolutely not surprised about psychological complaints.
The trend to go back to office partially clearly does not help. Spending money and time to go to office to spend my time on Teams or Zoom anyway but sitting on a broken chair and unstable desk and smaller screen makes zero sense and is infuriating.
