It's gotten harder than ever for them to organize their jobs so they can manage their work and health. People aren't imagining the added level of stress. It's real. I hear a level of cynicsm among supervisors and leaders as well as a lack of hope that the environment will improve. When a person becomes chronically ill, the illness becomes one stress too many. Particularly for those between 45-55, it can be very depressing to look at what lies ahead. But that's all the more reason why an individual - healthy or not - has to address this and see what he/she can do to achieve a better balance. Unfortunately the organizations that address this - with flex schedules and other such benefits - are few and far between.
