Existent facing over work
Several years ago, working as a white-collar was viewed as very decent in China as the so-called white-collar workers get high pay and work in modern office buildings, some of them choose to escape from working in the office because they have to suffer too much work pressure.
It is frequently reported that some journalists and editors suddenly die from diseases caused by overwork. Almost every media worker has sub-health symptoms since we are always on the way to news stories and it is hard to have meals at a fixed time and we have to spend quite a lot of time in front of computers every day as well, writing stories and editing videos. Actually, media is not even one of the top three high-pressure industries in China, according to a survey conducted by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the Chinese Hospital Association in April 2011, among all the 30 industries that were the least healthy are manufacturing, finance, education, media and law industries. The survey also found more than 60 percent of office workers faced the risk of contracting maladies resulting from overwork, a lack of exercise and a poor diet. High cholesterol, neck and lower-back pain and liver diseases were reportedly the most common symptoms.
Another survey conducted by the job-search website Zhaopin.com in March 2011 had similar findings. The survey, which polled 5000 office workers in big cities including Beijing and Shanghai, concluded more than 70 percent of office workers worked under a stress they found hard to bear. According to the survey, 44.8 percent of the survey respondents said they were often physically uncomfortable at their job, 40 percent said they easily lost their tempers at the office and 36.5 percent said their work left them feeling depressed. People who said they spent between 500 Yuan to 1000 Yuan in 2010 on health products accounted for 35.8 percent of the respondents, a number that rose by 14.2 percent above where it had been two years ago.
As housing prices are rocketing and daily necessities are becoming more expensive, I don’t know what to live on if I can’t find another job in a short term. The overwork of office workers isn’t just a social problem but also a legal issue. So far, there is no clear legal definition of ‘overwork,’ physical and mental health. Young people have been dying more and more in recent years from sudden onsets of cardiovascular disease. Office workers, especially those in poor physical shape, should undergo routine physical examinations and pay more attention to their own diets and mental conditions.
