about health issues stemming from overwork, while 75.3 percent of them have considered quitting jobs because of exhaustion at work, according to the latest survey released by Yes123 job bank on April 23.
Yang Tsung-pin, spokesman for Yes123, estimated that a staggering 5.41 million out of the island’s 8.985 million salary workers could be suffering from overwork.
The research finds that a female worker under excessive stress has experienced abnormal menstrual cycles and even developed auditory hallucinations involving mistakenly hearing phone ringing, probably because she’s anxious not to miss a call at work.
